"Frei Brothers Reserve wines possess a fruit-forward character with intense aromas and flavors that reflect the land and the climate that created the grapes. Our 2001 Merlot is a medium-bodied wine rich with classic Merlot flavors of cherry, berry and cocoa. Pure fruit flavors with silky-soft tannins are balanced by subtle notes of vanilla and toasty oak." - Frei Brothers Winery
