A touch of oak softens and rounds out the wine. Caliterra Merlot is made to drink relatively young. This wine has a deep ruby color, with ripe cherry and blackberry aromas. By sourcing fruit from different vineyard regions, we create a complex wine that shows a range of fruit flavors. We harvest the fruit ripe to very ripe to ensure excellent tannin structure and body.
Balanced oak softens the wine and complements the fruit characters.
