The Williamsburg Winery Wessex Hundred Merlot 2013 is a balanced Merlot that has old world character and a dark berry flavor. The grapes were grown in the summer of 2013, where a wet June and a dry end-of-season produced balanced and intensely flavored grapes. Expect aromas and flavors of dark cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry. Hints of earthiness including truffle, sage, and fresh cut herbs add depth and complexity of flavor. A balance of fruit and oak tannins mingle beautifully and lead to a long finish.
