Bliss Vineyards Merlot

In the late 1930s our grandfather irv bliss first visited mendocino county and spotted a picturesque ranch among the rolling hills and unspoiled land. Years later when irv learned of a mendocino property for sale he gathered all his savings and placed a bid-sight unseen. As fate would have it the plot irv purchased was the original 450-acre estate that had captivated his imagination years before. Seventy years later we still carry irv’s love for the land through our third generation of family farmers. We celebrate irv’s legacy by showcasing the rich fruit we grow on our property and putting our own bliss into every bottle of wine we produce. Tasting notes with aromas of blackberry tobacco and chocolate this estate merlot has flavors of bright red fruit which are complemented by hints of cinnamon milk chocolate and blackberry jam in the finish. Food pairings versatile enough to pair with everything from white to red meats. Perfect with braised chicken thighs char-grill
