There is magic in Merlot that is often overlooked. The supple femininity that softens when blended with bolder styles bringing subtle support yet has sufficient structure to stand alone. This dark-skinned grape likes to have sufficient water and needs sunshine to fully ripen to a blue hue. It shines. Expect flavors of the full berry spectrum, a green earthiness and a medium to full- bodied mouthfeel. Whilst it may be most prominent in Bordeaux, Merlot is a universal variety these days and you should buy Merlot online to uncover the virtue of its modesty.

Shipping Info

RELEASE - WEATHER DEPENDENT We will evaluate the best route and timing to release your order to arrive safely. There is no charge to hold it for up to 90 days. This will normally be packed in an environmentally responsible pulp shipper. We may decide to use styrofoam if deemed necessary to protect your product. To avoid unnecesary exposure to temperature fluctuations, It is important to receive your order on the 1st attempt.
RELEASE NOW - ICE PACK We utilize refrigerated transport to a depot nearest your location and then place an ice pack in your box for the last leg. This will last 2 - 24 hours depending on the ambient temperature. This will come in a styrofoam shipper. To avoid unnecesary exposure to temperature fluctuations, It is important to receive your order on the 1st attempt.

Note: For environmental responsibility, if we determine no ice pack is required at the time of release, we will pack it in a pulp shipper without ice and adjust your charges accordingly.
RELEASE NOW - NO ICE PACK We will release your order, if all stock is available, at the first window possible. This option assumes you have decided to forgo any temperature considerations and do not wish to add an ice pack for the last leg. In most cases, this will still go temp controlled to a regional distribution point. You will be sent a waiver notice to confirm your choices before we release it. To avoid unnecesary exposure to temperature fluctuations, It is important to receive your order on the 1st attempt.
UPS GROUND Follows the RELEASE - WEATHER DEPENDENT guidelines.
