Employing dual County appellation sourcing for Ghost Pines Merlot 2012, our winemaker was able to blend a wine which accentuates the best of what Napa and Sonoma Merlot has to offer. Napa County Merlot provides lush, jammy, ripe fruit into the blend in a free-spirited manner. The Sonoma County Merlot adds fresh red and black fruits along with a strong structural foundation in a disciplined manner. The result is a wine that exhibits the best of both appellations.
From the Wine Maker – “Our Merlot is a culmination of the best that Napa and Sonoma have to offer. This wine opens with aromas and flavors of plum, dried cherry and blackberry. On the palate, hints of nutmeg, clove, new leather and toasted bread create an expressive, full-bodied wine.”
This wine is best served with soups that contain hearty vegetable stews, chicken stock with meats, hearty meat-based stews or meat stock with vegetables.
