Product details
Winemaking
Aged about one year in French (62%) and American (37%) oak for a wine that is strong and round, roughly 14% of which is new. Artisan winemaking techniques such as pre-fermentation, cold soaking on the skins, saignée method and gentle pumpovers were used to enhance and simultaneously soften the tannins, deepen the color, and intensify the flavors.
Tasting Notes
Our Vintner's Reserve Merlot has intricate layers of black cherry, plum, currant, and wild berry that mingle with a hint of spice. The soft, delicate tannins of this Bordeaux varietal carry these aromas and flavors to a long lingering finish.
