Merlot
ARIEL California Merlot was fermented and aged in the traditional red wine method: fermentation in stainless steel cooperage on the skins at temperatures above 75ºF (24ºC). After fermentation, the wine was separated from the skins and a portion and moved to small French oak barrels for aging. Just prior to bottling, the alcohol is gently removed by cold filtration.

Winemaker's Comments
ARIEL California Merlot has aromas of cherry, raspberry
and cassis, combined with a white chocolate, clove and
oak bouquet from the barrel aging. At its optimum maturity
two years after bottling, it can be enjoyed immediately
or held for up to seven years. ARIEL Merlot is the ideal
accompaniment to beef, lamb and wild game dishes.
