The 2019 Merlot for example was all sourced from a single vineyard in Calistoga. The wine sees more than 18 monthis in a high proportion of new oak. It is a plush style with a generous full body, velvety tannins and chocolate and black fruit nuances. This is high quality comfort wine for drinkers who want a glass of wine that feels like a warm hug.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Acre Merlot is a delightful red wine with a rich and velvety texture.It exhibits a deep ruby color, indicating its youthfulness. On the nose, you can expect aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and spice from oak aging. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with flavors of dark fruits, such as blackcurrants and black cherries, mingling with notes of chocolate and tobacco. The tannins are soft and supple, adding to the wine's overall elegance. Acre Merlot pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty pasta dishes. Its approachable nature makes it a great choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions. Enjoy this Merlot at a slightly cooler temperature to fully appreciate its flavors and aromas.
