The 2019 Merlo comes from the Olson Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain, planted by the Coturris in 1996 and never treated with a chemical spray of any kind: 26-year-old vines on loam, farmed organic and biodynamic, hand punch-downed through the whole process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo additions, nothing taken away. Native yeast fermentation, neutral oak for 12 months, unfined and unfiltered. This was the last Marioni vintage made at Coturri Winery before Dan moved operations — which means it carries both lineages: a Sonoma Mountain Merlot with the Coturri fingerprint still on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDuck leg confit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etobacco and earth handle the fat; cherry fruit lifts the pairing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eWild mushroom risotto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eearthy register mirrors the wine’s depth without competing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003ePork belly with cherry reduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe sauce echoes the fruit; richness is cut by the wine’s natural acidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Zev Rovine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43013734727839,"sku":"7203","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/products\/IMG_1623.jpg?v=1678826125","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/d-marioni-merlo-california-red-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
