Matanzas Creek Winery Merlot

Marcia Torres Forno has been the premier winemaker of the Matanzas Creek Vineyards since 2010, focused on combining traditional and modern viniculture techniques. Concentrated aromatics of black cherry, dark chocolate, hints of tarragon, raspberry preserves. The Alexander Valley Merlot is aged 18 months in 33% new French oak, producing a truly classic style of Merlot. With notes of red fruit and dark chocolate, this red is medium-bodied palate is lush and silky with concentrated fruits, bright acidity and a long finish. We suggest decanting for an hour or two before serving.
