Noble Vines Merlot 181 California 750 ML

181 is classic Bordeaux-style Merlot, elegantly opening with aromas of cherry, blackberry and sweet herbs. Fresh fruit flavors of black cherry and ripe plum fuse seamlessly with hints of spice leading to a lingering and luxurious finish. Producer Information Noble Vines is a California value wine brand, established by major American wine company Delicato Family Vineyards.

Grapes are sourced from a number of Delicato-owned vineyards in the Central Coast and the Central Valley, including the single-vineyard AVA San Bernabe in Monterey County, and the Clay Station vineyard in Lodi.
