Kunde Merlot 2015

Sanguine and herbal, this wine is hugely concentrated in extracted and intense flavors of blackberry, red currant and cedar. It showcases meaty tannins and rich oak.

Supple and velvety textured, our 2015 Merlot offers a delectable mix of blackberry, clove, and brown sugar aromas. The core flavors are a complex weave of blackberry and black cherry with a hint of butterscotch that play out against a full mouth tannin structure. 

The rich volcanic soils of the Kunde Estate create a powerful Merlot. Perhaps it’s the iron content in the dirt that causes the wine to show just a bit more power than is common in the market, but we like a big Merlot! For your next red meat pairing, try substituting this Merlot with your Cabernet drinkers and watch them go back for seconds. It’s seductively rich and smooth and lingers deliciously on the palate.
