2008 Sutter Home White Merlot

It’s a little like sneaking into an orchard on a hot summer day and popping ripe, juicy cherries and sun-plumped berries into your mouth—without getting caught. This delicious wine displays a bright, light red color, and sweet cherry and raspberry aromas. It has soft, round juicy cherry and berry flavors with structure and a full, rich texture.

A portion of the grapes went directly to press without crushing thus minimizing the extraction of color from the skins. Other lots were crushed and pressed. A ten-day cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks fully extracted the Merlo! grape's deep cherry flavors.

Serve chilled as an aperitif, or as an excellent accompaniment to picnic and barbecue fare, seafood, poultry, ham, and spicy ethnic cuisines. We enjoy a glass with fiery chicken tacos.
