Bodegas Aguirre 2003 Estate Merlot

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
The fruit from this Livermore Valley wine comes from the hillside and specially pruned and thinned portions of the estate vineyard that impart its darker color and rich mouth feel. The addition of 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 80% Merlot increases the complexity of flavors. Cellared for over 24 months in hybrid and French oak barrels, this wine will age and drink very nicely for the next 10 years.

Vineyard Notes:
Specializing in Estate grown premium red wines, Bodegas Aguirre is proud to present the fruit of the work the family started in 1995. No effort or expense was spared for the vines to produce low yields of the highest quality grapes that the Livermore Valley can grow. They were meticulously crafted into complex wines sure to please the most discriminating wine aficionados.
