Broadside Margarita Vineyard Merlot 2022 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Broadside's 2022 Merlot comes from Margarita Vineyard in Paso Robles, where the Central Coast's warm days and cooling influences shape wines of ripe fruit and textural polish. This is Merlot made for immediate pleasure, not a cellar project.
The wine greets you with a cool, mentholated character that keeps things lively despite the ripeness underneath. Lavender and dusty rose notes frame a core of wild blueberries and sweet spice, while a whisper of tangerine adds brightness near the finish. The mouthfeel is silken, the tannins gentle enough that the wine feels approachable now, yet there's enough structure and length to suggest it will age gracefully if left alone. Violet and dark chocolate linger as you swallow, adding a touch of earthy refinement to the ripe fruit profile.

Expert Reviews
The 2022 Merlot Margarita Ranch opens with a mentholated freshness as hints of lavender and dusty rose give way to wild blueberries. It’s silken in feel with a cascade of sweet spice that accentuates its ripe red berry fruits. A tinge of tangerine adds lovely contrast toward the close. Violet pastille and a bitter tinge of dark chocolate linger on the finish as the 2022 concludes with admirable length and gentle tannins.
