Sidekick Merlot

Description :

The Sidekick Series from Iconic Wine represents a deep dive into the quality and value of Lodi California. The team works with multiple sustainably farmed and family-owned vineyards across the appellation. This allows them every year to assure they pull the best fruit for the price depending on the vintage, creating a trustworthy wine and perfect companion to your day-to-day adventures. Sidekick Merlot draws inspiration from another great wine region, the Right Bank of Bordeaux, with a core of 92% merlot and compliment of 8% Cabernet Franc.
Vinification: It is fermented in stainless steel vertical fermenters. Maceration is done for 16 to 20 days with a once-a-day pump over. A fourth of the merlot and all of the cabernet franc is then introduced to new French oak and aged for a minimum of six months.
