CedarCreek Desert Ridge Merlot
Platinum Collection
Above average growing degree days in the spring contributed to an early budbreak. Cooler days and evenings arrived in August, which slowed down the ripening of the grapes and allowed for greater flavour development while retaining freshness and acidity.

Tasting Notes
This is classic Desert Ridge Merlot with notes of plum, graphite and raspberry on the nose. On the palate, the wine has very good weight and depth with nicely rounded tannins and a long finish with both fresh and dried fruit characters.
