2020 Suscol Ranch Merlot
2020 Suscol Ranch Merlot
Suscol Ranch is located in the Southeastern part of Napa Valley. The hillside vineyard is composed of sandy loam soils, which lend themselves to produce Merlot with concentrated fruit and sturdy tannins. The cool breezes from the San Pablo Bay allow bright acid to develop in the grapes, which contributes to the structure and age-ability of this Merlot.
Tasting Notes
The striking red-violet color introduces decadent aromas of chocolate covered cherries, toasted cedar, and vanilla. The balanced palate showcases smooth tannins and juicy fruitiness with highlights of marzipan, cherry cola, and boysenberry jam. Pair this wine with your next cookout, it should be the standout of the party.Specifications
