Carlos Creek

2020 Minnesota Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Carlos Creek Winery's 2020 Carlos Creek is a delightful red wine that showcases the harmonious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, perfectly representing the character of Minnesota's unique terroir. This medium-bodied wine captivates the senses with its vibrant ruby hue, inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of cedar. The wine's acidity is well-balanced, providing a refreshing brightness that enhances the luscious fruit flavors. Soft tannins support the structure, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel that makes it approachable for both casual sippers and more discerning palates. The overall experience is further enriched by a subtle earthiness that reflects the winery's commitment to the Minnesota growing conditions. This wine is a fantastic choice for any occasion, pairing wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
