Crane Lake Merlot

Crane Lake's Merlot from Lodi, California, delivers a medium-full-bodied expression of the varietal with dominant plum and berry-fruit character. The palate shows juicy red-fruit notes and integrated tannins that provide structure without harshness, complemented by subtle vanilla undertones from winemaking. A straightforward, food-friendly red suited to grilled meats, braised dishes, and tomato-based preparations.
