This charmingly demonstrates Long Island's prowess with Merlot. A fragrant fruit salad perfume of summer berries with subtle purple flower, vanilla and baking spice tucked beneath. It's supple, structured and harmonious, with firm, sappy tannins and a crunch of acidity. \u003cspan class=\"taster\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWinemaker Description\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grapes of Roth is Winemaker Roman Roth's private label, and a true testament to his classic, yet adventerous, wine-making style.

Elegant aromas of cassis and fine toasted sandalwood fill the glass. The mouth-feel is rich and concentrated, yet balanced with wonderful fruit of plumbs, prunes and amazing minerality.

The fruit and alcohol provide great length and make this a very special Merlot that possesses great aging potential and is the perfect partner with food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine to be aged. It has a huge maturation curve ahead and will gain many more nuances and facets. Serve just at room temperature.

Budbreak was early and a hard freeze on May 13th threatened many vineyards.  June and July were very wet with frequent rains and high disease pressure.  Finally, mid-August the region saw some sun although rains continued at regular intervals.  The long fall season dried out a bit to make the vintage a very classic style with bright acidity and cool climate fruit flavors. It also allowed us to fully ripen the Cabernet Franc that makes up most of this blend in this fresh style of Rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking: To produce our Rose, we used Cabernet Franc which was pressed quickly to ensure a delicate rose color and minimal skin tannins. We allowed the pressed juice to sit on gross lees for several days before racking to enhance the body and texture of the final wine. Then a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel maximized the intense aromas and flavors. For the final blend we added a small amount of our Chardonnay fermented in a neutral French Oak barrel to lengthen the finish and solidify the acid backbone of the wine. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50232787665179,"sku":"210000058889","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/lbbesmh15etawjpw7xtt.jpg?v=1772554490"},{"product_id":"ken-forrester-chenin-blanc-old-vine-reserve-stellenbosch-2024-750ml","title":"Ken Forrester Chenin Blanc Old Vine Reserve Stellenbosch 2024 750ml","description":"\u003ch5\u003eKen Forrester Old Vine Reserve Chenin Blanc — Stellenbosch, South Africa 2024\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eKen Forrester is widely regarded as the \"King of Chenin\" — no producer in South Africa has done more to champion the grape or elevate its reputation on the world stage.
