Sourced from Lodi, California, 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon. Produced during Colorado's "lost" vintage of 2021, this Merlot has a lighter hue and lower alcohol content (12%) despite the warmer vintage in California that year. This Merlot has aromas of vanilla, cherry, and leather. In the mouth, it possesses a decent amount of tannins that accompany flavors of dried fruit and oak. Try with pasta dishes, poultry, or perhaps a bacon-wrapped pepper if you're feeling adventurous.
