2022 LOLA Artisanal Series Calistoga Merlot

Sourced from the sun-drenched terroir of Calistoga, our Merlot beautifully captures the region's warmth and richness. Bursting with vibrant flavors of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of plum, it's perfectly balanced by subtle cocoa notes and a touch of violet. The velvety tannins provide structure without overpowering the lush fruit, while the bright acidity keeps it fresh. Thanks to Calistoga’s volcanic soils, there’s a mineral depth that adds complexity. The warm 2022 vintage enhanced its ripeness and concentration, resulting in a smooth, approachable Merlot with a polished finish. 80 cases produced.
