Osso Anna Merlot hails from California's Napa Valley. This famous viticultural region is known for creating some of America's finest Merlot and Cabernet based wines, thanks to a combination of climatic and geological characteristics that form the ideal environment for quality grape growing. The wine gains its name from 'Osso', which is Italian for 'bone', thanks to consulting winemaker Jay Buoncristiani, whose nickname is Jay Bone. This luscious, plummy, oaked red is sure to be a crowd-pleaser amongst fans of rich decadent wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Osso Anna Merlot displays a deep ruby color.The nose presents an array of glossy blackberries, plums, and blackcurrants, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and dark chocolate that gives a hedonistic feel to the wine. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with plush tannins that provide structure without overpowering the wine. The fruit flavors persist, with additional nuances of chocolate shavings and a touch of sweet tobacco, adding complexity to the overall profile.
