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.

History
In 13th century Europe, the term “Apotheca” referred to a winemaker's sanctuary for crafting and storing their unique blends. Apothic Winemaker, Debbie Juergenson, carries on this tradition through Apothic; blending the most distinctive California grape varietals to craft each vintage of her captivating wines. Her bold blends challenge wine conventions delivering flavours that intrigue wine drinkers, whilst their silky-smooth style brings new users into the category.
Regional Information
Our 2020 Apothic Merlot is a silky, approachable red wine grown in California.
Current Vintage
2020
Vinification Details
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.

Poor
Plush and Jammy cannot disguise the unpleasant aftertaste not a bottle you would finish. Anyone who thinks this is a soft Merlot should really try one and start in France or Chile rather than California.
