About This Wine


Hawthorne Grove

Merlot

One of California’s most celebrated new wineries, Hawthorne Grove has been showered with medals and was even voted the 2016 Monterey County’s Winery of the Year for their incredible Pinot Noir. Every wine they put out is exciting, and our wine experts can’t get enough of the new Hawthorne Grove 2013 Merlot. Their team has created a wine with strong flavors, but that is still easy to sip. With tastes of cherry, plum and raspberry balanced by light accents of oak this wine will pair deliciously with grilled meats. We can't wait to share this stunning wine with you.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
