Sycamore Merlot

2015 Lake Michigan Shore Merlot

Sycamore Winery's Sycamore Merlot from the 2015 vintage showcases the rich potential of the Lake Michigan Shore region. This delightful red wine is medium-bodied, offering a harmonious blend of flavors that reflects the terroir beautifully. With a balanced acidity, it presents a satisfying mouthfeel while remaining approachable and easy to enjoy. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring ripe black cherries and plums that dance on the palate, complemented by subtle hints of cocoa and spice. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This Merlot is beautifully dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty pastas.

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.
