Copper Ridge Wines Merlot California 1.5 L

The Copper Ridge Merlot showcases red fruit and dark cherry on the nose, supported by caramel, vanilla and hints of spices. On the palette, round and sweet tannins give way to red fruit with a cherry-vanilla finish.\n \n After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Ernest & Julio Gallo started their winery in California. Unable to obtain bank loans, they rented a warehouse and bought equipment on credit. More than sixty years later, the Gallo family still controls one of the world's most successful wine companies. The Gallo philosophy of continual improvement saw Julio Gallo travelling throughout California seeking high quality grapes and vineyards; he came to the conclusion that Sonoma County has the finest growing area in California. Its complex geography provides an endless variety of growing conditions, and eleven viticultural appellations have been established in Sonoma.
