Due to a fantastic growing season on Howell Mountain, the La Jota Merlot shows incredible concentration while demonstrating finesse and balance on the palate. This red wine is an incredible example of mountain Merlot. This powerful mountain wine exhibits mocha and black cherry while on the palate one finds blackberry, and blueberry pie with volcanic minerality. Pairs with leg of lamb, rich tomato based sauces and grilled vegetables. This bottled California merlot is 14.5% alcohol by volume.
