Our Bridge Lane Merlot continues a tradition of showing good value and a clear expression of the merlot varietal on the North Fork.  A small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc provide some depth for a full-palate experience.  Aged 12-months in neutral French oak barrels to provide a fruit-driven flavor profile, look for aromas of blackberry, plum and cassis.  It shows smooth tannins and balanced acidity, making it a soft red that pairs well with a wide range of foods from grilled meats to pasta.
