Tasting Note

Deep ruby with intense aromas of dark cherry, plum, fresh fig with a hint of nutmeg, in the mouth it is medium-bodied with concentrated flavours of dark plum, pomegranate, dried cherries and a mocha finish that lead to supple and lengthy finish. Blended with classic Bordeaux varietals to produce a high quality, refined, luxury Napa Valley Merlot

Product Notes

Rutherford Hill Merlot, emanating from the heart of Napa Valley, California, offers an exemplary fusion of vibrant, intense flavours. Its luxuriously silky texture carries intriguing notes of ripe plums, succulent black cherries, marjoram and cassis with subtle undercurrents of toasted vanilla and mocha. Balanced integration of oak and velvety tannins bring depth and sophistication, framing the elegant fruit profile immaculately. Full-bodied yet refined, this Merlot's continual finish lingers exquisitely on the palate. Undoubtedly a wine of superior, old-world style finesse paired with the engrossing allure of new-world fruit. A splendid indulgence for the discerning wine connoisseur.
