Steve has been overseeing the farming of this classic Merlot Vineyard since 2015,\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The fruit was fermented in a small, open-top tank and punched down by hand two to three times a day, depending on the rate of extraction. The wine was aged in 25% new French oak Bousset barrels and the rest older neutral barrels. The wine was bottled after 20 months of elevage, with no rackings.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The wine has the richness and aromatic profile of Merlot, with impeccable balance and elegance. The vineyard always gives sweet cherry and chocolate, balanced by dried herbs. 2019 was a warm and consistent year, so the fast ripening facilitated an early harvest before the fruit got too ripe, allowing us to retain beautiful freshness.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The pH is 3.65, the acidity is 5.6 g\/l, and the alcohol is 13.0%. 228 cases produced.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45134011498678,"sku":"45243","price":28.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/2019matthiassonmerlot-ashes-di_45243_01_a900fee1_996680a5-607d-424a-91b6-307fafa76d4e.jpg?v=1779194050","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/2019matthiassonmerlot-ashes-diamondsvineyard-napavalley-45243","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
