John Mark Avant-Courier

Our John Mark Avant-Courier Merlot presents the majesty of Sonoma County. This plush and fruity wine is full of dark fruit flavors, sturdy tannins, and a hint of spice. This historic region’s varied climate allows Merlot’s flavor to advance into dark fruit territory while maintaining just enough acidity to keep the palate from feeling too heavy. From foggy coastal conditions to high inland temperatures, these hardy red grapes hold their ground, determined to showcase what this respected region has to offer. The unwavering will of nature, combined with our winemaker’s devotion to quality, create the pillars of success on which this Merlot rests. This wine is fruity enough to be enjoyed on its own but has the structure to stand up to a variety of flavorful dishes. Serve it at room temperature alongside smoked meats, roasted vegetables, or fresh pasta. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
