Merlot
Brady Vineyard Merlot makes an impression from the first pour, deep ruby in color, with aromas of blackberry, black olive, and a touch of peppery spice. The palate is smooth and layered, full of dark fruit, bramble, and savory depth. Silky in texture yet structured, it finishes with a trace of oak that lingers long after the glass is empty. Full-bodied, balanced, and built with care, a Merlot that’s as easy to enjoy as it is to remember.
Pairing:
Brady Vineyard Merlot was made to be enjoyed any way you like, poured on its own to take in its layers, or alongside smoked and roasted meats where its depth really shows. It pairs easily with sharp cheeses and rich, savory sauces, holding its ground without overpowering the meal. Smooth, structured, and generous, this Merlot brings balance to bold flavors and comfort to quiet moments, a wine that simply belongs at the table.

This Merlot is crafted from hi-density vertically trellised vines grown in calcareous clay soils that are the artifact of tectonic uplifting of ancient seafloor. Situated in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles . Just far enough inland from the Pacific Ocean to build heat daily, but close enough to enjoy the nightly cooling of maritime breezes. All these elements together result in rich, fully ripened grapes, ideal for producing big and powerful Merlot.
