Merlot

2006 Oklahoma Merlot

Panther Hills Merlot from the 2006 vintage offers an enchanting experience with its deep red hue, reflecting the rich terroir of Oklahoma. This medium-bodied wine presents a harmonious balance, showcasing its moderate acidity that lends a refreshing touch to the palate. Its fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe black cherry and plum, accompanied by subtle hints of dark chocolate and vanilla from careful oak aging. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit, making this Merlot an exceptional choice for both casual sipping and pairing with hearty dishes. With a pleasingly dry finish, this wine exemplifies the elegance and character that Oklahoma’s unique winemaking regions can produce.

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.
