Description
The first Merlot that came to Firstleaf from Penrose Hill was an absolute stunner. It was awarded medals at five different competitions and was even given a Double Gold and the title of “Washington State Merlot Winery of the Year.” They are back with a beautifully sourced Red Blend from vineyards in California. Half of the grapes in this blend come from Lake County, a beautiful growing region just north of Napa (and it’s one of our favorite places to seek out vineyards that are still under the radar). This Red is complex and has a beautiful inky color. Our experts have even gone as far as to call this blend “opulent” saying that the red and dark fruits are firm, full-bodied, and will stand up to any rich or intense foods. The spicy characteristics in the wine will pair especially well with red meats. Judges love it too! It took home 91 points and a Gold medal at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge.
