Ancient Peaks Merlot
Paso Robles Merlot, a small allocation we keep in Commack.
The story behind Ancient Peaks
Merlot from Paso Robles tends to run rounder and riper than its coastal cousins, with plum and dark cherry up front and a soft, food friendly finish. It is a red that drinks well young and holds up at the table.
We stock Ancient Peaks Merlot in a small allocation here in Commack, one to two bottles at a time, alongside their Zinfandel. Call ahead and we will tell you what is on the shelf.
