Description
The Reserve Merlot was specially
blended in our cellars. Aged on French oak, it displays pleasant
ripe berry and plum flavors with modest tannins. Enjoy it with your
favorite dish or by the glass.
Deep garnet. Exhibits a lively nose
of blackberries, black pepper and cherries. A delicious mouthful of
ripe berry, plum with subtle tones of oak and vanilla.
Origin
Joliesse (pronounced jo'-lee'-ES')
comes from the French words for grace and loveliness, which is what
we seek to create with every new vintage. Bottled in the heart of
Napa Valley since 1993, each wine is carefully blended to achieve
exceptional aromas and flavors. Made from grapes gathered from
carefully selected vineyards throughout California - wherever the
harvests are best each year - every one of our varietals embodies
the vitality inherent in excellent fruit.
Food Parings
A perfect match to
roasted duck, lamb and beef dishes, quail and pasta with tomato sauce.
Cellar Hints
Keep it cool (55-65 degrees F).
This wine can be enjoyed over the
next 3 to 5 years and is drinking very well now.
