Fruitland Valley Vineyard & Winery 2020 Merlot Reserve

Published: May 16, 2026

This reserve merlot presents bold aromas of jammy black fruit with vibrant oak barrel notes of cedar, Allspice and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it delivers a juicy mouthfeel of bright red fruit alluding to cherry and grilled plum that deliver an extended mid-palate before meeting finely textured earthy notes that lead to a finish delivering a clay pot minerality.
