Cannonball Merlot

Forget everything that movie made you think about Merlot – this Cannonball expression shows exactly why the variety deserves your love and attention. Plush, fruity, and utterly drinkable, it's the wine equivalent of your favorite broken-in jeans – comfortable but still looking good.

Cannonball's playful label (featuring a kid doing a cannonball jump into water) perfectly captures their wine philosophy – fun, approachable, and guaranteed to make a splash. This Sonoma County Merlot offers the perfect balance of New World fruit expression and elegant structure.

It's soft enough to enjoy on its own but has enough backbone to pair beautifully with food. This bottle makes a strong case for the Merlot comeback tour – and at this price, you'll want a front-row seat.
