Pangloss Cellars’ 2022 Moon Mountain District Merlot should offer a polished, mountain-grown profile with ripe dark plum, blackberry, and savory herbal notes. Expect firm but integrated tannins, enough structure to feel substantial without losing Merlot’s usual softness. The Moon Mountain setting often brings a touch of graphite, spice, and freshness that keeps the wine focused rather than heavy. It should appeal to fans of more Bordeaux-like California Merlot, with a little more lift and edge than a plush, fruit-forward style.
Serve it with grilled lamb chops or mushroom risotto.
