Estate Merlot

Estate Merlot Wine Details
Price:

Description: The PICAZO estate Merlot vineyard enjoys this cooler clime, about 200 feet above the floor of the Livermore Valley and about 600 feet above sea level. Thanks to moderate afternoon temperatures and cooling breezes, the grapes take a long-enough time to ripen ensuring full flavor and sugar development as well as soft, mature skin and seed tannins. Perfect climate and gravelly loam soils make these ten-year-old vines superb producers of Merlot at its finest – smooth and subtle, yet fruit-packed and full-bodied, enabling the Picazo family to keep its commitment to making truly outstanding Merlot.
