Deeply Rooted Merlot 2021
Flavor Profile
California’s Lodi is “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). And this gorgeous Merlot is a delicious example. Judges at the Sunset International Wine Competition were so impressed, they awarded it 93 points and a gold medal.
Deeply Rooted hails from family-owned, sustainably farmed vineyards. These special vines have deep root systems, which help the plants thrive and develop grapes with intensely concentrated, complex flavor. Thanks to a great growing season in 2021, the winemaking team behind Deeply Rooted had their pick of beautifully ripened grapes, leading to serious intensity in the final wine.
You’re in for layers of juicy-ripe blackberry and other black fruits, supported by vanilla cream and baking spice notes from time in oak. Velvety smooth and fruity, it’s delicious on its own or with meal (we like braised short ribs or linguica sandwiches).
Merlot fans will fall deeply in love with this luscious exclusive. Order your share today.
