CAL976_xxlarge_luxxmerlot
Taste

Notes of ripe plums and lip-smacking cherry with hints of black tea and caramel on the nose and palate. Good weight, feel, extraction and structure, with a long cherry finish. A serious, but elegant, wine.

Varietal

100% Merlot

Region

Happy Canyon, CA

Winemaking

Spent some time in tank then in old, neutral French oak to concentrate the wine further without affecting the color, flavors or tannins. Made with an eye towards featuring the very desirable Happy Canyon fruit.

    This was my favorite in the wine tasting and believe it or not I'm a white wine drinker! I loved it with the pairing... I would have never believed there was such a difference in taste. Perfect.

    Merlot is my go-to wine, and the Luxx is the smoothest, warmest, most delicious I have ever tried. Lovely wine, pairs beautifully with filet mignon - I am in love with Luxx!

    Normally not a merlot drinker, this wine is incredible! It has such a smooth finish and soft, dark fruit taste, you'll think you're drinking a blend. The name Luxx is so fitting because it is a high-quality wine that will please any discerning palate.

    I enjoyed the wine and probably would have given it another star but for the price.
