Syrah Merlot Wine Kit, Prodigy

Overview

You are drawn to wines that feel expressive and assured, wines that balance depth with approachability and invite you in rather than stand at a distance. With the Syrah Merlot Wine Kit, Prodigy, you create a red that blends confidence with ease, offering a style that feels composed yet generous. This is a wine for someone who values flavor and texture without heaviness, where enjoyment comes from harmony rather than intensity. Crafted from premium California grapes and developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit allows you to shape a red wine that feels naturally polished and unmistakably personal.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation unfolds, you guide a wine that brings together two complementary voices. Syrah contributes dark fruit notes of blackberry and plum, along with subtle pepper and savory undertones. Merlot softens the profile with round red fruit, gentle earth, and a smooth mid palate that brings everything into balance. The result is a light to medium bodied red wine with a deep ruby hue, a fruit forward core, and a dry, clean finish. The palate feels supple and inviting, with fruit remaining vivid and clearly defined.

Designed for Natural Expression
Prodigy wines are designed to highlight clarity, freshness, and fruit driven character. Finishing at 12 to 12.5 percent alcohol, this Syrah Merlot blend maintains balance and aromatic lift while allowing the fruit to remain expressive and intact. The structure develops smoothly over a shorter aging window, typically 4 to 6 months, creating a wine that matures efficiently while preserving its brightness and approachability. The result is a wine that feels fluid, composed, and naturally balanced, with fruit forwardness that higher alcohol wines often sacrifice.

Cold Stored, Direct to Your Door
This kit is a true agricultural product and cannot sit on a shelf. It is made with raw grape concentrates that are cold stored and shipped directly to your door to preserve freshness, aroma, and varietal integrity. This cold chain approach is fundamental to how Finer Wine Kits delivers wines that avoid the cooked flavors common in shelf stable kits.

The raw grape concentrate is vacuum evaporated at low temperatures to protect the grape’s natural character. If you are not ready to begin immediately, the concentrate must be stored at 3 degrees F or colder to maintain quality.
