All of our wines come from our estate vineyard in the eastern hills just south of the Stags Leap appellation. Having an estate vineyard gives us complete control over every detail growing the grapes to enhance and improve the quality of our wines. This vintage is very accessible and ready to drink with a wide range of dishes.
This vintage of Merlot has a refreshing leanness to it, with a bright, tapered finish. It’s a focused wine, with smoky bark notes from a mix of mostly French and a bit of American oak. The flavors and aromas are forward, perfumed plush red fruit, and ripe without being overpowering.
Oak Barrels: 95% French and 5% American (50% New). Time in Barrels: 20 Months.
