🍷 SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT: La Storia Merlot
We're continuing our journey into richer, cozier reds this fall with this week's Saturday Spotlight: La Storia Merlot from Trentadue W**ery in Sonoma County, California!
La Storia means "the story" in Italian, a fitting name for a w**e from a family with deep roots in California w**emaking. The Trentadue family has been growing grapes in Sonoma County for generations, and their La Storia collection showcases some of the best fruit from their estate vineyards in Alexander Valley.
Merlot sometimes gets overlooked in favor of Cabernet Sauvignon, but we think it deserves a little more love! Known for its plush texture and softer tannins, Merlot can deliver all the richness and complexity of a bold red without being quite so intense.
La Storia is a beautiful example, with notes of ripe black cherry, plum, cocoa, and warm baking spices. It's rich, velvety, and beautifully balanced, making it a wonderful choice as we settle into fall. Pair it with roasted meats, earthy mushrooms, or a good aged cheese.
As always, our Saturday Spotlight is the perfect opportunity to try something new!
