Merlot

Our Merlot is grown in two regions within Napa Valley. Our Oak Knoll vineyard is nestled up to the Mayacamas Mountain Range on the west side of the valley. The region's mild climate and alluvial soils lend great balance and structure, allowing the grapes to develop bright aromatics and flavors and a beautiful natural acidity and elegance. The alluvial soils bring darker fruits to the nose and palate, giving this wine structure and concentration. Our Carneros vineyard has a cooler climate, and these grapes bring an earthy, wet stone element to the nose and beautiful dark fruit. The cooler temperatures help preserve the color in the grape skins, contributing to the beauty of the wine swirling in your glass and adding depth and weight to the palate to perfectly balance the tannin.
