Geyser Peak Merlot

Winemaker Notes: The Merlot grape purportedly takes its name from a species of blackbird found in France. This association of the varietal with a graceful, light creature is apt for the beautifully wine the grape produces. The plentiful fruit and relatively low acidity make the wine feel plush and fruity in the mouth while well-rounded Tannins lend structure to the full palate. The deep ruby-red color leads to a nose of cherry, mocha, red berry and black tea. The Flavors are sumptuous and generous with waves of blackberry & plum fruit. For best enjoyment this wine is best served at ever so slightly below room temperature.
