2021 Sextant Merlot

A single varietal ready to mingle with food pairings, the 2021 Sextant Estate Merlot wows palates from the first meet-cute. Agile tannins and soothing acidity result in ample body with a lengthy mid-palate. It’s a wine that confidently carries through multiple courses—a sommelier’s Swiss Army knife. Sumptuous plums, cherries, and raspberries weave with hints of red currants, strawberries, and figs, while accents of vanilla, bay leaves, and cedar trail on the quenching and persistent finish.
