Murrieta's Well Merlot 2021 Review
California's famed Wente family has owned Murrieta's Well since the 1940s. It was originally planted with vine cuttings from Château Margaux and this wine is made from the descendants of those original vines still growing in their soil. This Merlot has deep red and blue fruits on the nose and a bold palate. The depth is balanced by abundant natural acidity.
