Le Vigne Winery 2018 Merlot Appellation Series

Winemaker’s Notes: Winemaking practices used during fermentation increased the skin contact for greater expression of the wide variety of flavors. This rich Merlot certainly won’t go sideways.

Ripe raspberry jumps from the bouquet with secondary aromas of vanilla, clove and spicy toasted oak. The balanced acidity carries dried fig and cranberry with chocolate covered almond across the palate. The well-integrated tannins offer a medium mouthfeel and smooth finish. As the beautiful garnet color suggests, this wine is enjoyable with or without food.
