Stonestreet Winery
Fifth Ridge Merlot Blend
Sourced from several of their single vineyards on Alexander Mountain, Bordeaux blend, 54% merlot. 12 months, 1/3 new French oak. Altitude of grapes is immediately apparent. Fruit is dark ripe and almost floral with fine grained tannins. With a rewarding interplay of dark chocolate, ground coffee, and savory bay leaf on the palette.

Mar 10th, 2016Beautiful blend. Has staying power over a week and fills out in the glass as it warms. Looking forward to opening these over the next few years.
