Merriam Vineyards Windacre Vineyard Merlot 2018 Review
Peter and Diana Merriam bought a farm in need in Sonoma in 2000 after falling in love with the region on a previous visit. With a sustainable focus, they revived the farm and now grow grapes organically. The nose on this Merlot is earthy with cracked black pepper and blueberry aromas. The palate is comfy, soft, and elegant with a great texture and acidity.
