Try this award-winning Merlot from the epic 2013 California harvest.
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Oscar Darby
Merlot
Dark and smooth, the Magnus Nox 2013 Merlot is part of an epic vintage with high praise from some of the most revered critics in wine. Wine Spectator Magazine called 2013 California wines “golden” for the Golden Coast, and critic Robert Parker said that 2013 was “a game changer,” and the Magnus Nox doesn’t disappoint. Light sage and plum accents play off of the oak flavors in this well-balanced, silky Merlot. Our experts have been trying it with anything they can think of, so far it’s been best with flatiron steak and roast chicken, but we think it may very well go with everything. Judges love it too! It was awarded a silver medal at the 2017 Sommeliers 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.
