Merriam Vineyards Miktos 2021 Review
Peter and Diana Merriam fell in love with Sonoma 24 years ago and decided to take the plunge and fix up an aging property and bring it back to life. They also love the French winemaking style and aim to achieve this in the Russian River Valley. This is their red blend, which brings a touch of French elegance to the category. The nose is all dark ripe berry fruit with a whiff of fresh earth. It has a seamless palate, as tannin and fruit harmonize with acidity.
