Ephemera
California
Full of red fruits with an exuberant nose, this is a Gold medal winning Merlot that over-delivers
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Ephemera
Merlot
When the spring sun shines down on the California vineyards it brings new life to areas that have been largely dormant for the winter. Roads in wine country start to get busier, and winemakers start spending their days getting ready for harvest, anxiously watching over the vines. The Ephemera Merlot is like tasting the history of California winemaking in a glass. You can taste the intensity that comes from the sun exposure on grapes. We love that it is a perfect complement to almost any steakhouse offering. Try it with grilled meats, or with something a little spicy—the soft palate allows for pairing with well-seasoned dishes. Judges love it too! It took home a Gold medal at the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
