Long Meadow’s 2018 Merlot is a masterful blend of small Merlot blocks from their Mayacamas and Rutherford estate vineyards, showcasing the delightful synergy of mountain and valley floor fruit. The wine opens with inviting aromas of Bing cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and cinnamon. It features a light sweet French oak profile, long soft tannins, and a luscious acidity, making it a versatile choice that will please most at any social gathering.
