WINE DESCRIPTION
Mercer Estates Merlot is a premium wine produced by Mercer Estates, a family-owned winery located in the Horse Heaven Hills appellation of Washington State. The vineyard features a unique combination of sandy loam soil and a warm, dry climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French and American oak barrels to enhance the wine's rich, velvety texture. The resulting wine is a classic Merlot with a deep ruby color, aromas of dark fruit and vanilla, and a smooth, elegant finish. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
