Merlot McManis Family Vineyards

Merlot

Estate Grown

Lodi, California

The 2020 McManis Family Vineyards Merlot is medium-ruby in color and abundantly fruit-forward. The wine opens with notes of blackberry, vanilla cream, and baking spices and leads into a mid-palate dominated by black fruit, closing with a pleasing, toasty finish.

Harvest and Production Notes:
100% of the fruit for our 2020 Merlot came from Lodi.

We harvested our 2020 Merlot between September 30th and October 2nd with an average Brix of 25.8. After 6-9 days of fermentation on the skins, the resulting wine was pressed and finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged on new and used French and American Oak for 6 months.
