Information about "Porcupine Ridge Merlot 2024"
The Porcupine Ridge Merlot 2024 showcases a brilliant ruby red, enticing with a layered bouquet of ripe red plums and cranberries, enhanced by a delicate spice ensemble of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, alongside fresh herbal notes of rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Its mouthfeel is velvety, featuring an exceptionally smooth mid-palate that balances dark berry flavors with well-integrated, soft tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is vibrant, with lingering nuances of mocha and dark chocolate.
The grapes underwent cold maceration prior to fermentation for optimal color and richness extraction. Careful processing ensured the avoidance of harsh tannins while preserving the fruity profile. Part of the wine aged in French oak, while the remainder was crafted in stainless steel.
