Broadside Margarita Vineyard Merlot 2018

Perfectly ripe fruit leads to the deeply pure and bright plum and black cherry aromas complementing subtle earth, vanilla, and spice. While inviting, lush, and awash with bright fruit, the palate also belies the serious nature of Merlot from Margarita Vineyard. Dry and structured, its fine tannins and fresh acidity make this a standout at the table, and for those with the patience, in the cellar as well.

The Paso Robles appellation changed dramatically when the Margarita Vineyard was added, which represents the core of Broadside wines. Paso Robles has traditionally produced “jammy” styled reds, due to the high heat of their inland growing regions. The Margarita Vineyard is much closer to the coast, allowing in cool, misty breezes which produces reds of firmer structure and tremendous depth while maintaining the value-driven pricing of Paso Robles wines.
