xpressive aromas of plums, crushed rip cherry’s and a touch of cassis surround the opaque red-purple hue of this full bodied merlot. On the palate the tannins are powerful and balanced perfectly with the flavors of red fruits, pomegranate, cedar wood and a touch of dried oregano. A wine that will develop gracefully over the next 7-10 years.

The Vintage | 2013 was an epic Napa Valley vintage allowing us a precision pick at a point when the fruit, acid and phenolic tannins were perfectly in balance. We experienced moderate temperatures and dry conditions in all our vineyard locations. All wines from the 2013 harvest, both red and white, benefited from the long, cool growing season, and this was especially true for Merlot. |
Vineyards | From two highly regarded merlot vineyards located in the Napa Valley's heart, Oakville. Farmed impeccably we are able to adjust our yield each year to achieve the ripeness levels we desire. Favoring quality over quantity, we deliberately keep our crop low, allowing for a long hang time on the vine, building intense flavors and retaining natural acidity. |
