2015 Merlot
Juicy and rich with dark plum, chocolate, and toffee!
WINEMAKING NOTES
The grapes were handpicked off Secrest Hill Road in Oliver in late October. Fermented in stainless tanks, the 2015 Merlot aged for 18 months in one and two-year-old French Oak barrels. This Merlot spent 6 weeks of extended time on the skins after fermentation to further intensify the wine.
TASTING NOTES
Our 2015 vintage is a Merlot of true distinction. Robust yet elegant. Luscious and ripe fruit from our Oliver vineyard was aged 18 months in one and two-year-old French Oak barrels. Juicy and rich with the perfect balance of oak, dark plum, chocolate, and toffee notes. A wine with depth, soft-grained tannins, and an endless finish. Pair with black pepper corn sauce, ribeye, and scallop potatoes.
