Mariko Merlot 2019
Mariko Merlot 2019 from Château Mercian comes from Mariko Vineyard on the Jinba plateau in Ueda, Nagano. The wine matures for around 13 months in oak, with 5% new barrels.
Blackberry, blackcurrant and ripe strawberry are joined by dried fruit, vanilla and spicy oak notes. Concentrated fruit meets well-integrated acidity and powerful, dense tannins. Ripe berries and delicate barrel notes shape the long finish.
