Bonterra – Merlot 2016 (750ml)

Merlot is one of our most distinctive expressions, thanks to the nuances that we’ve discovered in our vineyards. For our 2016 Merlot, the lots were fermented separately and underwent full malolactic fermentation before being combined to create the final blend. Additional complexity comes from the small additions of Petite Sirah and Malbec. The wine was aged for twelve months using a combination of French and American oak of which 45% was new.
