WINE DESCRIPTION

Merf Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker David "Merf" Merfeld. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards in Washington State's Columbia Valley appellation, known for its ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards feature well-draining soils and a warm, dry climate, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and complex Cabernet Sauvignon.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Merf Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, yet surprisingly smooth red wine.It has aromas of dark berry fruit, plums, black pepper, and subtle oak. On the palate, it is lush and velvety with flavors of ripe cherry, cocoa, and a hint of vanilla. The finish is long and balanced with a pleasant touch of spice.
