Colorado Merlot

2005 Colorado Merlot

The Royal Gorge Bridge And Park Colorado Merlot from the 2005 vintage is a delightful expression of this renowned grape variety, showcasing the unique terroir of Colorado.

The fruit intensity is prominent, offering rich notes of black cherry and plum, which are enhanced by subtle herbal undertones and a hint of spice. Tannins are present but smooth, contributing to a supple mouthfeel that invites another sip. This Merlot is crafted in a dry style, making it an excellent choice for a variety of culinary pairings, from savory dishes to grilled meats, making it an enjoyable companion for any occasion.

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.
