2021 Sonoma Mountain, CA
Merlot
Total Produced: 28 Bottles
Giveaway Allocation: 16 Bottles
Release Date: Oct-2025
Sonoma Mountain Merlot typically has a taste profile of dark fruit flavors like black cherry, blackberry, and plum, complemented by notes of cocoa, spice, tobacco, and oak. The wine is often characterized by a velvety texture, refined or grippy tannins, and a long, balanced finish.
A tribute to my Mom's ever present large Italian family: warm, welcoming and supportive. This wine has gone through cold soak and extended maceration resulting in 31 days of skin & seed contact to maximize anthocyanin, phenol and tannin extraction.
