DESCRIPTION
Lot 92 is one our most long-standing red wines at 90+ Cellars. A go-to year-after-year, this California Merlot is easygoing, easy drinking and equally paired with weeknight dinners or relaxing on the couch.
This Merlot comes from grapes grown in Mendocino County, among the northernmost areas of viticulture in California. There, cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean ensure long hang-time, which contributes to the racy complexity of this wine. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and the finished wine is matured six months prior to bottling in a blend of new and used oak resulting in a wine with finesse and structure. This wine is Right-Bank Bordeaux in nature with a Cali-fresh twist.
TASTING NOTES
This wine is medium bodied with a ruby hue. Raspberries, pomegranate, and red cherries with hints of herbaceous notes rush the senses. Smooth and luscious on the palate, this wine pairs perfectly with BBQ chicken, Margherita pizza, or braised short ribs.
