Ravenswood Merlot Vintners Blend 2015

California Ravenswood Merlot Vintners Blend is a beautiful red wine gem from California. Fueled initially by the inspiration and winemaking skills of Joel Peterson, aided and abetted by his business partner W. Reed Foster, Ravenswood winery has been dedicated to top quality, hand-crafted wine since the first crush in 1976. Every Ravenswood wine carries a unique vintage and vineyard identity in addition to the intense powerful – gothic – character with which the winery has come to be associated. A key to Ravenswood’s success is their long-standing relationships with over 60 independent grape growers. Vineyards are chosen for their location, age, yield and special flavor characteristics. At Ravenswood, they are devoted to working with growers who share their philosophy about high quality. Ravenswood Vintners Blend Merlot is “a stand-up version of the varietal that’s spicy and smooth with bright black fruit flavors, hints of black olive and tantalizing texture.”-Ravenswood Enjoy Ravenswood Merlot Vintners Blend with veal chops, roast pork, BBQ ribs and aged cheeses.
