2022 Founders Merlot
Tasting Notes: Our 2022 Merlot is a full-bodied red wine with luscious notes of blackberry and plum. The mouthfeel is rich with layers of toasted caramel and vanilla. The finish is long lasting with hints of mocha and crushed dried herb at the end.
Winemaking Notes: Our Merlot is grown in outstanding vineyards throughout California, primarily in Lodi and Paso Robles. Here grapes ripen fully, developing ample cherry and blackberry flavor characteristics on the vine. Once harvested, we ferment the grapes with French oak, enhancing the wine’s mouthfeel and contributing a subtle spicy aroma.
Food Pairings: Lamb Patties, Pork Empanadas, Grilled Summer Vegetable Lasagna. View Recipes.
