Iconic Vineyards

This wine has an intense and impenetrable ruby color, with strong notes of cherry, tobacco, caramel, and roasted coffee. The wine is big and robust with tannins that will allow it to be cellared for many years. With the aging in oak, you can better taste the natural flavor typical of soils with abundant clay.

Winery Info

SANT’ANGELUS

Our wine philosophy is to make the best wine possible by first controlling the cultivation process from start to finish on our estate. By starting with excellent fruit, our ability to make a great wine is enhanced. We also strive to make our wines well balanced first and powerful second. Finally, we like blends, like our Canonica, because they give us flexibility and more freedom to create the ideal wine without being tied to the traditional classification system.

Scarlett Merlot 2021

From Our Sommeliers

“The 2021 'Scarlett' Merlot grabs your attention immediately with a beautifully complex bouquet of aromas and a gorgeous deep garnet color. With a medium body, tannin profile, and finish, this wine is easy to drink alone and pair with different foods such as charcuterie, pasta dishes with red sauce, or braised meats.“ - Michelle Ross
