ABOUT THIS WINE:

MMXIII

MMXIII

Merlot

Varietal: Merlot
Vintage: 2013
Alcohol By Volume: 13%
Region: California
Winemaker: Joe Otos
MSRP: $23.00

The MMXII is one of the most food-friendly wines we've ever come across. Of course, that's by design. The winemaking team behind MMXII believe that the first step to creating a wine is to imagine the food you're going to eat with it and, for their 2013 Merlot, that means pretty much everything. Perfect for any occasion from a fancy steak dinner to a cheeseburger BBQ, this rich, fruit-forward wine has the silky tanins, good balance, and incredible flavor to make almost any dish shine.

Judges love this wine too: we're excited to announce that the MMXIII 2013 won a silver medal at the 2017 Critics Challenge!

WINE REGION:

Outline of California

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.
