VENN Carbonic Merlot 2020
This wine was inspired by years of drinking Cru Beaujolais and wanting to better understand the technique. After making a visit to Morgon at the start of 2018 and collecting notes from winemaker heroes there and in our own backyard, we worked to uncover the vibrancy in our own Merlot.
Tasting Note: Ideal for parties, picnics or chilling by the pool, this is your perfect summer red. Light bodied yet full of flavor with refreshing floral and ripe red berry aromas, this wine is oh so quaffable. Room temp or lightly chilled? Your choice – we love it both ways. Drink now.
