Cabernet Sauvignon excels in a year like this, so the blend is higher in Cab Sauv and lower in Merlot than previous years. The wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, of which only 9% were new. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e50% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePairing: Seared Long Island duck breast with a Merlot reduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eViticulture: Sustainable, practicing organic and biodynamic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoils: Sandy loam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macari Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":42193979113518,"sku":"RED14615","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/0636\/4974\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_3e219899-846e-4563-a47b-e6d8fc2e0180.jpg?v=1775685004","url":"https:\/\/onekourtwine.com\/products\/macari-bergen-road-red-north-fork-of-long-island-new-york-2022","provider":"One Kourt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
