WINE DESCRIPTION

Toasted Head Merlot is a premium wine produced by Toasted Head Winery, known for their exceptional quality wines. The grapes for this wine are sourced from select vineyards in the North 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 aging the wine in oak barrels, which imparts a rich and toasty flavor to the wine. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Merlot with a smooth and velvety texture, and notes of black cherry, plum, and vanilla. It is a perfect wine to pair with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, leading to a long finish. Enjoy this Merlot with grilled steak, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Toasted Head

Region: North Coast California

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines. The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
