Medium-bodied and dry, it carries plenty of ripe fruit without becoming heavy, supported by soft tannins and a rounded, juicy finish. Ravenswood was founded by Joel Peterson in 1976 and became best known for its bold approach to Californian red wine, a character that comes through clearly in this approachable Merlot. It is an easy match for beef burgers, spiced lamb, tomato-based pasta or a firm, mature cheese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 Vintners Blend is a California Merlot with 13.5% alcohol.
