| CV Langtry Estate Guenoc California Merlot 12 Pack
California, USA |
Product Notes:
Our 2004 California Merlot was fermented in stainless steel and aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks, upright oak tanks and French and American oak barrels. Dark, rich, and full-bodied, the 2004 Merlot is complex. Chocolate, cherries and cassis are evident; with generous fruit flavors and a layer of toasty French oak that precedes the bright, lingering finish. Great with poultry and seafood stew.

 About Estate:
For well over one hundred years, intrepid travelers have trekked over Howell Mountain to reach our Guenoc Valley winery. Langtry Estate & Vineyards property is vast, encompassing some thirty-five square miles of epic terrain, where untamed flora and fauna still abound.
The picturesque estate consists of 21,349 acres and straddles both Lake and Napa Counties where cougar, bear and wild boar still roam the remote hills. Despite the vastness, Langtry's vineyards are limited to 400 prime acres, ensuring the highest quality.
Langtry Estate & Vineyards currently produces approximately 120,000 cases of wine annually with distribution throughout the United States. From cane to canopy, to rootstock and clone, Langtry Estate believes that the signature of the wine remains in the soil and climate and in varietals chosen for their synergy with the land.
While Langtry has enjoyed significant critical success, the winery has emerged as one of the top producers of two of the hottest varietal wines on the market today, Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc. Each year, Langtry ranks among the top medal winning wineries at professional wine competitions, and the winery's Petite Sirah has won more gold medals and best of show awards than any other Petite Sirah in the world.

Merlot-based wines usually have medium body with hints of berry, plum, and currant. Merlot has slightly lower natural acidity than Cabernet and generally less astringency, therefore usually a more lush mouth-feel. Earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon to mature
