Merlot

Merlot Wine Details
Price: $13.99 per bottle

Description: The Merlot 2002 is a bold blend of 80% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 6.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 0.5% Alicante Bouschet. It spent 13 days on the skins extracting good tannins and color. The Merlot was barrel aged in French oak for 10 months, with 6% aged in new American oak for 3 months. The result is a well-oaked wine with dark dry fruit flavors with hints of tobacco, cherry and raspberry. It smells like camping.
