"Prime Cut 55’s Merlot is a spicy and full bodied Californian red wine. With flavors of black cherry, plum, oak, and spice. It is a semi-dry wine, with a semi-bold finish. This wine has little to no acidic flavor and is a smooth, easy to drink red." —winemaker

"Our Apothic Merlot reveals depths of black cherry, boysenberry and wild blueberries with subtle hints of vanilla and coconut. To add dimension to the wine, we added a touch of a unique grape called Teroldego, which marries well with the Merlot to create plush tannins and a long, lasting finish. Most of the fruit for this Merlot was sourced from Lodi, with some originating from a vineyard near Brentwood. We selected Merlot grapes for their dark fruit intensity and generous tannins to create a velvety mouthfeel. Portions of this wine were oak-aged for 3-4 months to preserve elegant fruit characteristics." —winemaker

"Seductive layers of berry, plum, violet and spice character. Try it with Grilled Lamb Brochettes with Rosemary, Chicken Ragout with Potatoes, Peppers and Olives, and Grilled Pizza." —winemaker

"Our Dark Horse Merlot is perfectly balanced with layers of ripe dark cherries and rich blackberries. Aromas of blue violet, toasted oak, mocha and brown spice rise out of the glass and lead to a long, plush finish." —winemaker
