Sandstone Merlot - Wente Vineyards

The barrel-aged Sandstone Merlot from the California viticultural region reveals itself in the glass in bright purple. This U.S. cuvée flatters in the glass wonderfully expressive notes of guava, mango, plums and mulberries. These are joined by hints of black tea, dark chocolate and cocoa bean.

This U.S. wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this North American enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Taste does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully silky. The final of this red wine from the wine-growing region of California finally thrills with considerable reverberation.
