Due to the warm climate, the plants are planted in loose soil. This allows the roots to grow deep down to absorb as much moisture as possible. This is essential, as summers can be very hot in this wine region. Winemakers Luc & Jack begin harvesting at perfect ripeness and gather the grapes in the early morning. This is followed by a gentle pressing to extract the finest juice, which is evident in the pure and smooth flavor.
What a delightful glass of wine this Merlot from Luc & Jack is! The aroma begins with berries, ripe strawberries, and cherries. Swirl the wine well and you'll notice even more diversity, with notes of spice, toffee, and stewed plums. The palate is delicious, smooth, and perfectly full-bodied. Beautiful nuances of red and black fruit, with blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries taking center stage. The back of the tongue reveals even more notes, with a dose of red blossom, a touch of citrus, blackberries, and a hint of fresh currants! What a gem, and for this price! Kudos to Luc & Jack.
