2018 Wild & Free Merlot

YEAR: 2018

THE STORY

The newest addition to our Wild & Free Series of reds. This wine was slowly mature in neutral French oak barrels for 40 months! Only three barrels were made from a single vineyard. It took its time, and now its finally in bottle!

This Merlot is dark and brooding. We call it "The Beast". Dark fruit flavours with cassis, black plums, black cherries that are still profound and fresh. Subtle hints of tobacco, vanilla, spice, and underbrush. Full bodied with big ripe tannins that envelop the whole palate. 

Congratulations to Johnny for bringing the Gold Medal in the National WineAlign Awards for this masterful Merlot! Top Merlot in the Nation.  

HOW TO ENJOY

This wine is a big red, so when it comes to food pairing, think big red! Chargrilled striploin or pot roast with sauteed mushroom gravy. The biggest flavour the better!
