About This Wine


Pull

Merlot

Typically used as a blending grape for Bordeaux blends, when given the chance to stand on its own Merlot shines and is a natural fan favorite. This wine hails from Paso Robles, an idyllic growing region for big red wines thanks to warm sunny days, afternoon breezes, and cool nights that justify opening all the windows in the house. Decadent flavors from dark fruits marry with spicy and sweet notes. Versatile enough to stash in the cellar or open now, this will shine when paired with savory meats or a bold cheese plate.

Wine Region


Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
