Merlot

Merlot Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: Merlot is harvested from five separate hillside locations throughout the Truchard Estate Vineyard. The wines from these hillsides each have their own identity, and each contributes different characteristics to the final blend. Cabernet Franc is added in to provide additional softness and complexity. The 2001 Merlot exhibits the typical Truchard style: aromas of blackberry, floral blueberry, and ripe plum, highlighted with cedar, violets, and subtle mint. The mouth is round and smooth-back cherry, plum, red currants, and sweet vanilla. Velvety tannins coat the palate, and provide a long spicy finish of dried red fruits.
