Sun and earth come together, shaping the character of wine grapes grown on the California central coast. The sun’s rays shower the coastal vineyards with life giving energy. Warm days yield to cool nights as the grapes ripen to produce distinct aromas and flavors that are unique to the California central coast.
Sunterra 2004 Merlot is produced from grapes grown in Santa Barbara County, which is well known for producing quality Rhone and Bordeaux style varietals. Ripe flavors of dark fruits and red cherries are complimented by sweet oak notes and subtle spice. Full bodied with smooth tannins and an enjoyable finish.
