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. Wonderful dark cherry fruit with well integrated oak, classic graphite and great minerality is complimented by a very savory and elegant finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDark red brick in color. 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 finish has layers of ripe tannins and nicely toasted oak with fine classic earthiness, leather and iodine notes. 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. Pair this Merlot with dishes you might think of for big, bold wines: steak, cassoulet, duck and decadent dark chocolate desserts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMemo Summary Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\" id=\"p-rc_aec392e6316d2c61-135\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003e2020 Wölffer Estate \"The Grapes of Roth\" Merlot\u003c\/b\u003e is widely considered a benchmark for Long Island winemaking. \u003cspan class=\"citation-145 citation-end-145\"\u003eIt is the personal label of Wölffer’s longtime winemaker, Roman Roth, who uses it to showcase a more robust, \"Right Bank\" Bordeaux style that proves Merlot can be both powerful and sophisticated.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-145 citation-end-145\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-144\"\u003eThe 2020 vintage was particularly stellar for New York, recently earning the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"77\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-144\"\u003e#100 spot on the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-144\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-144\"\u003e Top 100 Wines of 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-144 citation-end-144\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"source-inli\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46972151071003,"sku":"NYWGORM19","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/fxxa5l8r3qy7uzaaoun9.jpg?v=1769964501","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/wolffer-estate-the-grapes-of-roth-merlot-2019-750-ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
