Merlot is the second-most planted grape in the world behind its half sibling Cabernet Sauvignon.

2021 Alicante Bouschet
14.8% Alc. ~ $34
Gold 2023 Foothill Wine Fest
Lovers of rich, fruit-forward reds like Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon take note, Alicante Bouschet is quite the find! Created when a French botanist, Henri Bouschet, crossed Grenache with Petit Bouschet. It is one of the few varietals in the world that has red flesh inside the skins, also known as a teinturier grape. This wonderfully unique and concentrated wine has a deep dark color and is rich in both its aroma and palate. An aroma of wild black fruits, black olive, dark chocolate, clove, and a palate of fruit forward and smooth, black cherry, brown sugar, cinnamon spice, soft tannins on the finish.
