Apothic Merlot

Legend says the Merlot grape was named after the little black bird that used its clever wit to steal fruit from the vines. Inspired by this story, our winemaker crafted our Apothic Merlot with untamed notes of blackberry and vanilla, and a plush, velvety finish that soars at first sip.

Apothic

Legend says the Merlot grape was named after the little black bird that used its clever wit to steal fruit from the vines. Inspired by this story, the Apothic Merlot label alludes to the little black bird with abstract, watercolor feather detail and an inky color palette that reflects the jammyness and dark fruit of the wine.

Plush, Jammy

The majority of the Merlot and Teroldego for this wine was sourced from the Lodi region of Central California. 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.
