Ecluse offers a delightful selection of dessert wines made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Petite Sirah, and Tannat grapes grown in California. With its rich texture and moderate acidity, Merlot provides the foundation for these wines, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds full body and dark fruit character. The high-yielding Carignan contributes to the blend's robustness, and Petite Sirah brings depth with its deep color and high tannin. Tannat’s firm tannins and dark fruit profile make it a standout component, especially in its classic Madiran style or more approachable Uruguayan expressions. Whether enjoyed as a dessert wine, port, sherry, or for cooking, Ecluse offers versatile options that pair beautifully with flavorful foods.
