Not everyone is aware that the estate also boasts a winery, which produces 75,000 cases of wine a year and wins numerous awards. When Green Dragon visited her mom a couple years ago she toured the estate and winery, snaring a bottle of this limited release Merlot.
It’s a medium bodied wine that’s ruby red. The cherry and earth flavor notes mix well over a smooth and polished texture. We haven’t compared it with their entry-level Merlot, but it has a bit of complexity that allows it to pair well with a wide variety of food.
Although not a showstopper, it’s a perfectly acceptable choice for casual sipping. It may be the closest you get to the Vanderbilt millions.
