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.
Our award-winning Merlot is a bottle of smooth, velvety goodness tied up in a bow. Bursting with juicy plum and cherry flavors, the lip-smacking acidity tempers the herbaceous, earthy hints with good weight and excellent structure.

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.

Turned Me Red
I have been a dry white lover for years. And then I attended a Traveling Vineyards tasting and Luxx turned me into a dry red lover! This wine is so SMOOTH and perfect to sip while watching a movie!

Aging With Grace
This blend is delicious, as easy to pair with hamburgers or prime rib as it is with just my glass. Luxx has aged tremendously during the past 4 years. Give this one a try. You’re welcome!

Love LUXX
I’ve never really liked Merlot before until I tried LUXX! So smooth and goes perfectly with anything chocolate! Excellent wine ??

My ALL TIME fav
This is the smoothest, not too sweet but not tangy or sour either. This one I can drink the whole bottle so I have to be careful

Luxx...my reason for falling in love with Traveling Vineyard!
I first tried Luxx merlot a few years ago at my first wine tasting event and immediately fell in LOVE! My mother did, too! We both enjoy it so much, that when we were out of our 'supply' and my wine guide had moved on to other things, I jumped on the chance to sign up as a wine guide myself, so we can continue to enjoy this amazing merlot! BONUS, now I get to enjoy all the benefits of being a Traveling Vineyard wine guide, too!
