Geyser Peak Merlot 2013 - USA
The bright fruit flavors and supple tannins of this wine reflect its Alexander Valley origin. Traditional red Bordeaux varieties like Merlot do particularly well in this region, due to the warm daytime temperatures and cool, fog-covered nights and mornings.
Grapes were fermented in a combination of rotary and traditional upright fermenters, under moderate Temperatures, for a relatively short, six-day period. Restrained use of new oak cooperage allowed the wines fruit-forward, quintessentially Alexander Valley character to shine through.
