| CV Schug Estate Sonoma Merlot 12 Pack
Sonoma County, California 
|
Product Notes:
This powerful yet elegant Merlot is blended in the Bordeaux style, adding Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot for depth and complexity. The Merlot grapes were sourced from the Ricci Vineyard and Sangiacomo 'Donnell Ranch' in the Carneros district of southern Sonoma Valley, as well as the Sahbari Mountain Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. These cooler microclimates provide the longer growing season necessary for Merlot to ripen slowly and develop maximum flavor. It has a spicy bouquet, deep color and exhibits full-bodied flavors of cherry, blackberry and spice. Try it now with grilled fish, pasta, lamb and steaks, or cellar it for 5 to 7 years.

 About Estate:
Founded in 1980, Schug Carneros Estate Winery is the showcase and life-long dream of one of California's most celebrated winemakers. Walter Schug's reputation blossomed during his tenure as Founding Winemaker for Joseph Phelps Vineyards in the 1970s, where he made California’s first proprietary Bordeaux-Style blend (Insignia) and legendary vineyard designated Cabernets (Bacchus and Eisele Vineyards).
Drawing on his long experience in the production of fine wines in both Europe and California, Walter set up his own winery with his wife Gertrud in the cool, marine climate of the Carneros Appellation. Here he could focus on the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals that had always been close to his heart.

About Varietal:
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.
