CHERRY PICKER 09 ME
This California Merlot was created to be just what the name implies, a cherry bomb of ripe red fruit, soft tannins, supple, luscious and a wine that you don't have to analyze or work on describing.....It just tastes good!The 2009 Cherry Picker was crafted from classic wine regions like Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and the Central Coast, in order to take advantage of the different attributes and characters of those regions. The idea was to create a great tasting wine that I could take out for parties, a red wine that could be opened and enjoyed with pizza, hamburgers, a steak, or simply to knock out a few bottles with friends playing cards without having to analyze or think about what we were drinking.
The wine has balance, with a moderate use of oak, alcohol under 14%, loaded with juicy, ripe red cherry fruit, a round velvety mouthfeel and finishes with lush texture. Only 290 cases produced!
