Long Meadow Ranch Merlot 2014 is a full-bodied red wine from the Napa Valley of California. This exceptional bottling from the 2014 vintage – one of the warmest, driest vintages on record in Napa – was produced from 75% of Merlot, 24% Petit Verdot, 0.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 0.5% Sangiovese. All of the fruit was from certified-organic vineyards. The wine was matured in 50% new French oak barrels. Producer note. "Plum, black cherry and intense, but positively rich, fruit cake aromas on the nose. Graphite, cedar and tobacco flavours integrate with the balanced tannins and expand on the palate with mouth filling intensity."
