2011 Rolling Stones Forty Licks Merlot

The Merlot captures the attitude of Mendocino County’s style. Aromas of cherries with hints of apricot are followed by bright flavors of raspberry and strawberry and a creamy black cherrry-vanilla finish.

To capture the essence of Forty Licks, the 40 tracks that cover the Rolling Stone’s career, Winemaker Mark Beaman chose to work with Merlot, another solid classic that stands the test of time. Much like the band itself, Mendocino County winemaking stays true to its roots with a consistent and confident character not caught up in fads or trends.
