Tasting Note

2022 Merlot opens with concentrated aromas of juicy black plum and sweet tobacco leaf. On the palate, supple tannins and balanced acidity elevate notes of strawberry preserves, pomegranate, black olive, and cigar. The easy-drinking qualities of this Merlot make it the perfect wine to pair with caramelised veggies and filet mignon.

Product Notes

Firestone Vineyard's Santa Ynez Merlot, produced in picturesque Santa Barbara County, California, is a quintessentially lavish American red wine. It boasts a robust flavour profile with notes of black cherry, spiced plum and sweet vanilla. Aging in French and American oak barrels lends additional complex, toasty undertones to the wine. Its silky tannins and balanced acidity make for a satisfyingly smooth palate. This Merlot gracefully unfolds on the tongue to a lingering, velvety finish. The Santa Ynez Merlot is not just a wine, but a nuanced experience that perfectly compliments hearty meat dishes and fine cheeses. It's a must-try for any wine connoisseur.
