2021 | Pride Mountain Vintner Select Merlot | Sonoma County

Largely in the same style as the classic Merlot, the 2021 Merlot Vintner Select is 100% varietal and was raised 18 months in 45% new barrels. Redcurrants, red plums, smoked tobacco, and spicy wood notes all give way to a rich, medium to full-bodied, broad, and textured Merlot that has a touch more ripeness and structure than the base cuvee.
