Robert Foley Vineyards - 2019 - Merlot - 750 ml.

Merlot buds and ripens ahead of Cabernet Sauvignon, often by a week or two, which is why growers with both in the ground pick in separate passes. The grape also handles heavier, cooler soils where Cabernet can stall short of full ripeness. Robert Foley Vineyards bottles its 2019 as straight Merlot.
