This merlot has been barrel aged in French and American oak for eleven months which brings out rich toasty-oak notes to balance this luscious wine's ripe cherry and berry aromas and flavors.

Like people you’ve known for years or your favorite blue jeans, Meridian Merlot is comfortable and easily likeable. Bursting with plum and berry-cherry fruit and just a hint of fresh mint, this wine has a soft, supple texture, making it equally at home as a before-meal or with-meal option. Perfect for a casual game night spaghetti dinner, with pizza while watching your favorite TV show, or as a complement to an impromptu neighborhood hamburger and hotdog grilling.- Winemakers notes.
