NEW RELEASE!!
ANGELINE 2009 RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY MERLOT is produced from grapes selected from the cool Russian River Valley. The Russian River Valley is known for a coastal influence that often brings fog to the area. The fog provides cool relief when temperatures rise and allows the grapes to retain their delicate flavors and natural acidity.
VINTAGE NOTES The 2009 harvest was fantastic throughout California. Abundant spring rains and a temperate growing season produced excellent fruit quality. The beautiful Indian summer weather that followed mild rain in early October allowed the grapes to reach optimum maturity.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES The Angeline Merlot embodies our commitment to produce structured, elegant wines, which are abundant with layers of fruit. Our Merlot is fashioned in a fruit-forward, easy to drink style, yet it reveals admirable complexity and length. Aged for twelve months in French oak. This wine has a deep, dark purple hue with brooding, layered aromas of sage, mint, black cherry and blackberry. Rich, full-bodied flavors of ripe plum, black cherry, spice, earth tones and soft raspberry are touched with subtle accents of oak and vanilla.
FOOD & WINE PAIRING Baked salmon with roasted garlic or pasta in a light cream sauce would be a perfect match with our Angeline Merlot.
