Some of the world’s most collectible reds are made from Merlot (like Bordeaux’s Pomerol and Saint-Emilion), and it’s easy to understand why. This deep purple grape yields wines with supple, velvety palates and ripe, black-fruit flavors. And that’s exactly what you can expect in this exclusive California Merlot.
Cooper Point takes its name from a gorgeous cape along Monterey County’s Pacific coastline. Crafted with grapes from prime-sited vineyards across the Golden State, it’s a delicious testament to the quality of the 2019 growing season. As The Wine Advocate reports, “The vintage has produced a good many high-quality wines, generally of a classic, ripe, plush and beautifully expressive style.” Just wait until you get Cooper Point in your glass...
The rich ruby color introduces vibrant plum, blackberry, and compote aromas and flavors, plus silky tannins and a long, velvety finish. If you have friends who only drink reds, this Merlot will make a lovely aperitif. But it’s equally happy alongside food—roasted duck, barbecued meats, creamy risottos—your pairing options are wide open.
If you haven’t given Merlot a try in a while, then this is the perfect red to re-introduce you. Secure your share today.
