About the wine
Smooth, sumptuous and OH-so-juicy Merlot
This juicy Merlot is a flavor explosion! Tom packed your dynamite red with bright red fruits, dark plums, and a smooth, toasty finish that rivals big-name Bordeaux wines (but without the price tag).
Harvesting lush, flavor-packed grapes from Lodi and Lake County let Tom capture full-on oomph for your Merlot – aging the wine with French Oak to magnify rich, decadent flavors.
This limited-production red’s just begging to be sipped alongside herb-crusted lamb chops or a sizzling steak. Pop it open an hour before serving dinner to really let the flavors open up!
Best before
Probably best over the next 4 years, though it may improve longer.
Serving advice
For the first 6-9 months after release, open 45-60 minutes before serving. If you don't have time for that, just do a lot of swirling in the glass. ;)
Food match
Grilled steak, lamb chops, or duck confit.
Contains sulphites
