Abundance Vineyards is a family owned and operated boutique winery. The owners, Dino and Ron Mencarini, have been pioneers in the Lodi winegrowing region since before 1951. This one is a delight in three acts: the first layer of this deep garnet/ruby colored wine releases aromas of leather, black cassis and cranberry. With the second layer, you will taste a light cherry and oak essence which will open to soft, elegant tannins, bringing you into the third layer of a well balanced and long lingering finish. As a whole, this Merlot is incredibly well structured, making it a perfect pair for any meal. Enjoy this wine with any rich pasta, roast or a fine cheese platter. Encore!
