2021 The Fableist ''395'' Merlot, Paso Robles, California, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE:

Each bottle has been artfully designed and inspired by one of Aesop’s many fables. Just as each of his timeless vignettes has a moral, the winemakers believe that every blend has its own story to tell, its own lessons to teach. There’s something profound about wine; it can inspire, bring loved ones together, fill hearts with warmth. As you enjoy each glass, the Fableist crew hopes these stories spark a desire to ponder what really matters in life — and may they encourage you to find the wisdom within yourself.
