Tasting Note

This Merlot opens with plum, rosehip, blood orange, fresh peach and cherry in the nose, with undertones of laurel and dried orange peel. Flavours of juicy red fruit explode on the palate and an uplifting freshness carries the mid-palate with complex and dense tannins, plenty of fruit and a soft transition to a lush lingering aftertaste. Well-balanced acidity and a silky tannin structure on this young wine leaves plenty of room for many years of ageing.

Product Notes

Grgich Hills Estate Merlot, hailing from the renowned Napa Valley, is a delightful red wine that captures the essence of Californian winemaking. With a rich and vibrant ruby color in the glass, this Merlot immediately captivates the senses. Aromas of black cherry and blackberry mingle with subtle hints of vanilla and oak, promising a complex and rewarding tasting experience. On the palate, the wine reveals a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins, showcasing flavors of ripe plums, currants, and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a lingering sense of elegance. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats or savored on its own, Grgich Hills Estate Merlot is a true testament to the craftsmanship behind this iconic American winery.
