T'jara Merlot
Two small lot Merlots, hand picked for our Commack shelves.
The story behind T'jara
Merlot is the soft spoken red of Bordeaux blends and the backbone of many a Right Bank wine. On its own it gives plum, black cherry and a rounded, low tannin texture that drinks well young and softens further with a few years in bottle. It is a friendly grape, and that is the point.
We stock T'jara Merlot and T'jara Reserve here in Commack in very small numbers, one or two bottles at a time. Ask us at the counter and we will tell you honestly what is on the shelf today.
