Berghold Estate Vineyards, Merlot 2008, Lodi, California

Tasting Note: A soft, gentle red that could change your perception of California merlot.

Ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of red plum, vanilla and cinnamon baking spice.

On the palate the merlot shows mid-palate structure along with rose petal and red cherry flavors.

Bottle Note: Berghold wines are crafted from grapes grown in vineyards located at the base of the Sierra Nevada. The low-yield, flavor-concentrated grapes express the distinct quality of our vineyards and the Lodi appellation. A classic Mediterranean climate of warm days and cool nights produces rich, round flavors and unique character.
