winemaker's notes:

The grapes are grown and sourced from five single vineyard sites from the Languedoc region in the south of France along the Mediterranean coast. No oak was used and the wine was bottled without filtration. The Merlot is firm in the mouth with dark cherry, plum and spice notes. It has a lasting finish with hints of dried blackberries. Enjoy it with red-sauced pasta dishes, beef stew or a glazed honey ham.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
