WINE DESCRIPTION

AVA Grace Merlot is a fruit-forward red wine produced by AVA Grace Vineyards, known for their exceptional quality wines. The grapes used to make this wine are sourced from select vineyards in California's Central Coast appellation, which is known for its ideal growing conditions. The vineyards feature well-draining soils and a moderate climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by gentle pressing and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied Merlot with notes of black cherry, plum, and vanilla. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods and occasions.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This AVA Grace Merlot is a delightful example of a classic California Merlot.It has aromas of blackberry, currant, and plum, with subtle notes of tobacco, spice, and herbs. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine has a soft, smooth texture, with flavors of ripe cherry, plum, and cocoa. The finish is long and elegant, with a hint of vanilla. Enjoy this Merlot now, or cellar for up to five years.
