East Side Vineyard Merlot

• 2021

  • 91 Points | James Suckling

    Delicious, creamy and fruit-driven merlot. It has aromas of dark cherries, baked plums, grilled herbs and cloves. Medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Vivid and peppery, with juicy berries and a focused finish. Drink or hold.

    The 2022 Pedroncelli East Side Merlot is well balanced and persistent on the palate. This wine shows aromas and flavors of subtle sandalwood, pretty raspberries, and garden-fresh herbs. Try it with a charcuterie plate of mild cheeses and country pates. (Best Served: 2024-2028)
