2022 Dean’s List Merlot

Another Merlot has earned its way to the top of the class thanks to quality fruit from Austin Sharp Vineyard!  Aromas of pomegranate, sweet raisins and raspberry are balanced with vanilla and coconut.  The finish is complex, as it begins with cherry cola flavors, and continues by showcasing hibiscus, and vanilla cream covered fruits.  The medium tannins give the needed structure to pair this wine with grilled meats or chocolate covered strawberries.
