Freemark Abbey Merlot 2021 grape-brandy giving the wine a concentrationFreemark Abbey Merlot 2021 is a Napa Valley Merlot blended with Bordeaux varietals, bottled at 14. 5% ABV in a standard 750ml format. What distinguishes this vintage is a deliberately fruit forward winemaking approach under the direction of winemaker Kristy Melton, who employs lower temperature barrel toasting over longer periods to broaden tannin structure and layer baking spice into the mid palate.
