VA - Monticello

$34.00 / 750 mL Bottle

Alcohol 13%

Bottling Date March 29th 2024

Aromas of fresh, ripened cherries and blueberries burst from this perfectly balanced merlot. The wine has soft and silky but firm tannins, yet it retains freshness and vibrancy through to the finish.

Notes

This Merlot is composed of grapes from most of our Merlot Blocks that were harvested on September 25, 2022. The grapes were chilled overnight, then twice sorted; pre & post destemming. The macerations and fermentation time lasted 4 weeks to favor the extraction of the very ripe fruit. This wine was blended from a barrel selection a year prior to bottling. As usual the wine was aged 14 months in French oak barrels (40% new, 60% neutral).
