Winemaking
Our base material Merlot was machine picked September 24, 2018, sorted, de-stemmed & crushed, followed by cold soaking, alcoholic fermentation, extended maceration, then malolactic fermentation. Pressing before starting aging in oenotanks early January 2019. Our Petite Sirah component was machine picked October 16 & October 23, sorted,
de-stemmed & crushed, followed by cold soaking, alcoholic fermentation, extended maceration, then malolactic fermentation. Pressing before starting aging in oenotanks early January 2019. A portion of both Petite lots remained in stainless steel to preserve this fruit's freshness. Two small lots of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot came from trusted growers known industry-wide for the price/value ratios of their wines temper the final blend's herbaceousness, bring out the Merlot varietal fruit a bit more and round out the wine's mid-palate. Final blend was assembled just prior to bottling.

Very bold, heavy flavor. Probably not for everyone, but I really enjoyed this and will purchase again!!

Smooth and easy!
I mostly love sweets and when I opened LUXX I truly enjoyed it! The smooth and easy taste of this Merlot was delicious. I even enjoyed it one evening watching a movie and snacking on Doritos! Now that is luxury!

My all-time favorite red. My hubby's go to if we have one in the wine cellar. Love it with spaghetti and meat sauce, cheese burgers and just in a glass by its self. Makes me feel special everytime I pour it!

THIS is why I joined Traveling Vineyard!
I hosted a few wine tasting events in my home and attended a booking, or two, from them. My Mom and I fell in LOVE with Luxx Merlot and stocked up!!! When we had enjoyed all that we had bought, I reached out to my Wine Guide to 're-up'...unfortunately, she had retired from Traveling Vineyard and I wasn't able to talk her into starting again...it just wasn't the right time for her. Well, it turned into the PERFECT time for ME to jump in and start my own Traveling Vineyard adventure! I owe it all to this amazing Merlot. If you enjoy Merlot...I highly recommend Luxx! You won't be disappointed!

So smooth
I saved this bottle of Luxx for my birthday celebration... the perfect pairing with my steak dinner. Rich, smooth & delicious!

Merlot Madness
I'm a bit biased in my review because Merlot is my absolute favorite wine of all wines, but I must say LUXX is at the top of the Merlot game. I mean, the name says it all, with its smooth, rich and elegant taste, LUXX is definitely a wine to not overlook if you are trying something different from what you're use to. Cheers to more wine and cheers to TV for bringing us LUXX.

Flavorful full-bodied Merlot
I've had several merlots by Traveling Vineyard and this vintage of Luxx is one of the best! It is bold, flavorful and not too fruity. It's really smooth and supple. Great with red meat.
