Merlot

Our Merlot is grown in two regions within the Napa Valley. Our Oak Knoll vineyard is nestled up to the Mayacamas Mountain Range on the west side of the valley. The mild climate and alluvial soils in this region lend this wine great balance and structure. The mild temperatures allow these grapes to develop bright, pure aromatics and flavors, along with a beautiful natural acidity and elegance. The alluvial soils bring darker fruits to the nose and palate and give this wine its structure and concentration. Our Carneros vineyard has a cooler climate and these grapes bring an earthy, wet stone element to the nose along with beautiful dark berries and plum. The cooler temperatures help to preserve the color in the grape skins which not only contributes to the beauty of the wine swirling in your glass but also adds depth and weight to the palate to perfectly balance the tannin.
