Red Diamond sources grapes from the best locations around the world to reveal the distinct personalities of outstanding varietals. This Merlot opens with lovely flavors of black cherry, plum and a spice scented nose. The sweet fruit on the palate is complemented by the medium bodied tannins and toasty oak with a nice smooth finish.We destemmed, crushed and inoculated our grapes to begin fermentation. Fermentation lasted 6–10 days on the skins, with a twice-daily pump over regime.
