Red Only June

Lush, smooth, and irresistibly approachable, Bliss Vineyards Merlot is a celebration of ripe red fruit. Grown in the heart of Mendocino County, this Merlot opens with inviting aromas of coffee, tobacco leaf, dark plums. On the palate, it’s a velvety blend of soft tannins and rich, juicy layers of blackberry and cocoa, finishing with a hint of oak spice and black licorice. Whether paired with a succulent meal or savored solo, it’s the kind of wine that makes any moment a little more blissful.

Lush and fruit-forward, this Petite Sirah from Shannon Ridge’s High Elevation Collection delivers mountain-grown intensity in every glass. Cultivated in Lake County’s rugged hillside vineyards, it bursts with concentrated flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and black plum, framed by hints of espresso, dark chocolate, and toasted oak. Firm tannins and a full-bodied structure create a powerful yet polished wine, with a lingering finish. It’s a standout for those who crave depth, character, and a touch of the untamed.
