2019 Meeker Winemaker's Handprint Merlot

Producer: The Meeker Vineyard 
Region: Sonoma County, California 
Varietal: Merlot   
Year: 2019

Winemaker Notes: 

"In the beginning, we put our handprints on these bottles so everyone would know it was a Meeker Merlot - big, fruit-forward, full-bodied, and with tannic structure for days.  Now you know what kind of wine this is!  But we keep hand printing because the bottles are just so darned gorgeous.

This Merlot is a classic.  Dark fruit like currants and cherries marry on the nose with hints of toffee and caramel.  The wine explodes on your palate with more cherries, and hints of the best strawberry rhubarb pie you’ve every had.  There’s no shortage of subtle, toasty oak and big, powerful tannings throughout the palate and finish of this wine.  This Handprint will age beautifully and develop more richness and roundness for years to come." 

Alcohol: 14.8%
