Meinert Merlot is a classic, elegant and refined style, bridging the gap between old and new world merlot. A complex blend of two Merlot vineyards selectively harvested over five pickings spanning 2 weeks difference in harvest dates. "Wonderful velvet softness that you expect of great Merlot. On the nose, rounded and supple fruit with a roasted pepper and herbal character. The texture is beautifully supple, and the tannins smooth. A lovely wine with great balance." - Just delicious !
