The 2020 Fidelitas Merlot comes from some of Red Mountain’s top vineyard sites, showcasing the region’s hallmark balance of ripeness and structure. Fruit was hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel, then aged in French oak barrels (about 30–40% new) for depth and polish. The nose offers ripe plum, black cherry, baking spice, and mocha, while the palate is plush yet supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. A benchmark Washington Merlot that pairs beautifully with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or mushroom risotto. ABV ~14.5%.
