Moon Mountain VineyardWine Notes
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO MEMBERS
The esteemed chateaux lining the eastern shore of the Dordogne River in Bordeaux produce ageworthy wines whose silky opulence guides our approach to Merlot. At Moon Mountain Vineyard, generous afternoon sun exposure lifts our Merlot into a bolder, richer offering than typically seen from this variety. Mouth-filling and complex, it will reveal itself as a worthy rival to its French counterparts with proper aging in the cellar.
