2013 Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot
Ridge Perrone Merlot from the renowned Monte Bello Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains is an exquisite expression of this celebrated varietal. The wine showcases a deep red hue that entices the eye. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied profile with lively acidity that embraces the taste buds, delivering a refreshing experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark plum and black cherry, complemented by subtle notes of spice and earthiness that dance harmoniously. Tannins are notable but gracefully structured, providing a firm backbone while ensuring a velvety texture. As a dry red, this Merlot beautifully reflects the terroir of its mountainous region, promising an enjoyable experience for both everyday occasions and special gatherings.
