2009 MONTICELLO VINEYARDS Estate Grown Merlot
Outrageous! Our Merlot displays intense aromatics of blue and red berries, black fruits, roasted nuts and toasted oak. Medium to full-bodied, it shows a luxurious richness of sweet fruit flavors that is accompanied by a suppleness that shows in the mouth-feel.

Winemaker Notes
Our 2009 Estate Grown Merlot is a rich, well balanced wine. The aromas are full of berry fruits with nicely integrated lightly toasted oak aromas. The palate is very expressive and is displaying a wonderful balance. The roundness of the Merlot is balanced by its own acidity and also the nicely integrated tannin structure of the Cabernet Franc. The finish is long and full. Drink Now through 2021.
