Elk Run Vineyards

We're always so happy when Elk Run Vineyards is able to make it to the Market. They're wonderful people (like so many of our vendors, it's a real family endeavor!) and very knowledgeable. And they have some great graphics, like this great Maryland Merlot label. In fact, local foodie (and Community Market force) Catherine Wintermyer is a great fan of this label, commenting "Is this a Buy Local label or what?" Well, it turns out that, not only are they fun, smart and tasteful...they make really fantastic wine! Look at all the awards that Elk Run's Maryland Merlot has garnered: Maryland Merlot Rich and jammy with deep layers of cherry fruit, this Merlot has a nice balance of acid and soft tannin, making it a perfect companion to many dishes.
