From our renowned Fortuna and Leopoldina Vineyards in Oakville, we present our single-varietal 2021 Oakville Merlot. Seductive aromatics give way to a cacophony of young, red opulent fruits that widen along the palate, revealing a stately Merlot rooted in elegance and power. This is a wine sure to turn any wine-lover obsessed.

Lifted red fruits envelop the senses, inviting the nose to Bing cherries and plums. A cacophony of young, red opulent fruits widen along the palate, revealing a stately Merlot rooted in elegance and power. Updrifts of red cassis carry the melody, gently intertwined with grilled sage, savory mountain herbs, and rosemary. The fervor of dimple tannins that define the mid-palate gradually fade into the finish, waning gently to compel the next sip.

praise for 2021 oakville merlot

“The 2021 Oakville Merlot is an interesting wine, as it offers far more savory and earthy notes than most Merlots. Dried herbs, tobacco, cedar and crushed flowers lend notable aromatic nuance. The 2021 is a blend of the three Merlot blocks at Fortuna. It’s very good and quite distinctive.”
