Merlot

2009 New Jersey Merlot

The Brook Hollow Winery Merlot from the 2009 vintage is a delightful expression of this classic varietal. Hailing from New Jersey, this enchanting red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, presenting a beautiful balance of flavors. The acidity is remarkably fresh, contributing to an invigorating mouthfeel that complements the velvety texture. With notable tannins that are both smooth and enticing, the wine provides a gentle structure that supports the lush fruit intensity. Expect prominent notes of ripe black cherries and plums, intermingled with hints of vanilla and subtle spice that add complexity to the experience. This Merlot is dry, making it an excellent choice for food pairings, especially with roasted meats or hearty pasta dishes. Overall, it embodies the richness of the New Jersey terroir while offering a memorable tasting experience.

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.
