the 2018 Merlot expresses red and blue fruits

There is a fun blast of citrus that reminds me of those sun-kissed lemon trees grown in red clay pots that you see all over this part of Tuscany

NV Jean-Baptiste Adam Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rose, France (750ml) 4-25 the 2018 Merlot expresses redTASTING NOTES: "A very shy nose has overtones of powdery freshness and apple peel. The palate brings out the notions of tart but ripe red apple peel while fine bubbles fizz away with gentle creaminess. This is slender, very fresh and has a wonderfully gentle apple flavor. The finish is dry, vivid and long." Wine Enthusiast, 90 pts
