Palate
The finished wine is rich and ripe, with bright black fruit flavors of cherry and plum, a hint of warm herbs and plushy texture.
Growing Conditions
Merlot gets nicely ripe in the warm climate of Sonoma Valley, and this 100% pure Merlot is the real deal.
Winemaking
We gave the wine 12 to 18 days of extended maceration on the skins to extract maximum color and flavor.
Aging
20 months in 100% French oak barrels, 20% new.
