Monthaven Winery Merlot (3 Liter Octavin Home Wine Bar) 2009

Monthaven Merlot is crafted from select vineyards throughout California's diverse Central Coast. In an unexpected twist, our Monterey component delivers the richest fruit with the most depth due to the vineyard's warmer terroir, despite Monterey's reputation as a cooler climate. Cold fermented to extract bright fruit flavors, this wine exhibits plum aromas, with black cherry and berry notes on the palate. The majority of the wine is aged in barrels for at least six months delivering round tannins with an energetic, pleasant finish.
