Macari Vineyards Merlot 2021 Review
Macari is a leader in sustainable viticulture and winemaking on Long Island. The winery's love of the land comes through in this beautiful Merlot. The nose is quite unique with a distinct floral note bordering on rose petals. The palate is a defining standard for Merlot on the North Fork. Soft and grippy with wonderful concentrated fruit and supportive acidity.
