Vino Valpredo 2012 Merlot

Sonoma County Merlots can range in structure from soft and approachable to intense and almost as structured as Cabernet Sauvignon. Vino Valpredo’s 2012 Merlot leans toward the softer, more elegant side with fruit sourced from some of the region’s most prized vineyards. Refined, graceful aromas of red currant, plum, dried cranberries and just a hint of wet gravel blend together seamlessly on the nose, while flavors of plum, dried cranberries, and baking spices are engulfed in soft, velvet-like tannins on the palate.
