Dalton Dalton Estate Merlot

Sourced from the vineyards of Kerem Ben Zimra, the grapes for the merlot were selectively harvested in late September and early October. After a warm fermentation and frequent “rack and return” for wetting the grape cap the kosher wine was pressed out and transferred into 80% French and 20% American two to three year old barrels. The kosher wine was stored in the barrels for just under a year. Notes: The kosher wine is viscous and dark purple, it is showing classic varietal qualities of plums, cherries, cloves and homemade jam, balanced by subtle shades of vanilla from the barrel.
