Rock River Merlot 2009

California

Rock River Merlot is a terrific value red made by one of California’s top winemakers from vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, Lodi, Amador County and Paso Robles.

Rock River Merlot is ruby red in color. The nose is packed with firm, dark fruit, and sweet oak. It is lushly fruited and toasty in the mouth with flavors of plum, cherry and red berries. Soft and silky on the palate, it has medium body and fresh aromatics with a long, lightly tannic finish.

Enjoy Rock River Merlot over the next 5-6 years with roast duck, roast pork, grilled vegetables and cheeses.
