Echo Falls Merlot, California 11%
The supple, easy-drinking style of Merlot has a universal appeal which is fast growing. The grapes for this excellent example of this hugely popular variety are sourced from the southern Central Valley. Vinified in modern facilities in a deliberately fruit-driven style, although it is oak-aged for a very brief period to increase the wine's complexity: soft supple tannins on the palate.

The Country
USA
Due to an extended, cooler growing season in 2019, grapes ripened with lower levels of sugar and a higher than average yield. The wines are full flavoured with fresh acidity and superb balance. The USA should not be overlooked for only producing full-bodied, powerful wines - there is so much more to discover beyond the stereotype.
