Meeker Merlot

This handprint merlot from both Lucas and Charlie Meeker is finished with a beautiful wax dip. Mags make a great holiday wedding or birthday gift – and they will age more gradually than a standard bottle – making them a great cornerstone of your wine cellar. As most of our customers know meeker handprint is a big merlot featuring tannic spicy cherry flavors and a strong backbone. 

Tasting Notes:

This Winemaker’s Handprint Merlot is a classic. Dark fruit like currants and big cherries marry on the nose with hints of toffee and caramel. The wine explodes on your palate with more cherries, and hints of the best strawberry rhubarb pie you’ve ever had. Bright acidity on the finish helps display the big, rounded structure. Just a touch of oak, and every oz of 36 months in barrel shine through with soft, round, and still huge tannins. There’s no shortage of subtle, toasty oak and big, powerful tannins throughout the palate and finish of this wine.

This Handprint will age beautifully and develop more richness and roundness for years to come.
