2012 Three Wine Men Merlot 750ml 6-Pack

Our 2012 Merlot opens with aromas of boysenberry, rose petals, vanilla and a hint of cedar. This wine exhibits a classic Merlot profile, with cranberry and tart cherry flavors, and a spice that appears on the mid-palate from both the terroir and French oak aging. Vibrant acidity drives the fruit profile throughout this medium bodied wine, the  flavors linger with the well-integrated tannins. Due to the balanced  flavors in this Merlot, food pairing is a breeze. Try it with grilled pork chops with orange barbecue sauce, roasted duck and even your favorite burger.

Appellation: The majority of the grapes used to make this wine were sourced from Lodi. The Lodi AVA is located in the Central Valley of California, at the northern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, east of the San Francisco Bay. Lodi wine country has a climate that is cooled by winds and fog from the San Francisco Bay. Due to a break in the coastal mountain range to the west, Lodi vineyards enjoy a more moderate climate than those in the Central Valley. Lodi’s terrain is composed of well-drained, mineral-rich soils. These soils have the rare ability to produce excellent quality grapes at relatively high yields.
