Merlot

From MOSNEL Chardonnay and subtly fruity Pinot Blanc, with a judicious touch of Pinot Noir to lend structure. Revealing in the glass a luminous white-gold shot through with pale green highlights, it opens to a thrust of vibrant, crisp fragrances, with cleanly-delineated citron and grapefruit, honeysuckle, and verbena, with just a hint of iodine. Crisp fruit notes of white peach and gooseberry characterizes the full-volumed palate that concludes with a lively, full-flavoured finish.

From DOMAINE TURENNE Pale pink/orange color with aromas of wild strawberry, rose , and citrus. The palate is light and elegant with subtle berry fruits, a hint of citrus and stone, and has a nice density and length.

From MURI-GRIES Dark red garnet color. Complex bouquet of ripe berries and spicy notes of tobacco, leather, and licorice. Well structured, velvety character with integrated acidity and firm tannins. Long finish.

From LANDRON-CHARTIER Fresh and zesty with hints of stone fruit, pear, apple, and honeydew melon flavors. Straight mineral wine with a gently round mouth. Pleasing saline conclusion.

From KIVELSTADT CELLARS Bright cranberry and raspberry. This walks the line between rosé and red wine having the tannins and acidity of a rosé, but all the color of a red.

From CHO Lightly effervescent and light in body, frisky acidity. Lemongrass and white chocolate aromas are matched by a pronounced mineral note. Energetic flavors of chamomile tea, white pepper, and thyme. ABV 12.4%. (90 pts., Wine Enthusiast)
