Peirano Estate was the first commercial winery to grow and produce wine from these rare Merlot clones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter HAND PICKING, the fruit arrives at the winery ready for its careful journey from grape to wine. The must was inoculated with  Bordeaux red Pasteur yeast, fermented to dryness, pressed and  settled before being moved into barrels. Aged in French and American oak barrels, of which 15% was new oak, the barrels were specifically selected to compliment the supple structure of our Merlot. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e Aromas of maraschino cherries, black raspberries, cran-raspberry, plum medley and a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove join   together in a single sensation of olfactory bliss. The mouth is  filled with an array of flavors, including spiced raspberries, plum compote and cran-raspberry juice with a lingering hint of cinnamon sprinkled over raspberry and plum sauce. Bright red fruit tannins and good acidity leave a pleasing, long lasting, soft finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalolactic Fermentation: 100%\u003cbr\u003e Total Acidity: .65g\u003cbr\u003e Residual Sugar: .38\u003cbr\u003e pH: 3.71 \u003cbr\u003e Alcohol: 14.8%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled: September 12, 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENJOY NOW OR CELLAR THRU 2030\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Enthusiast: 90 Points \u0026amp; Best Buy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange County Fair Wine Competition: Gold\/90 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage\u003cbr\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e Varietal\u003cbr\u003e Merlot\u003cbr\u003e Appellation\u003cbr\u003e Lodi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peirano Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975824249056,"sku":"106716","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/peirano-estate-merlot-lodi-six-clones_1.jpg?v=1663888223","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/peirano-estate-merlot-lodi-six-clones-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
