Sonoma County

85% Merlot
12% Cabernet Sauvignon
3%  Malbec

Ahhh, Merlot. Ignore the rumors and movie tag lines. Instead, take a blissful leap and awaken your senses to the magical, splendiferous wonder that is Merlot from the heart of northern Sonoma County! This special varietal is artfully blended by our winemakers with a touch Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, producing a wine rich in texture, lively tart-cherry acidity and the gentle, plush roundness of sweet spices like cinnamon, cardamom and clove that are the hallmarks of impeccable French oak cooperage.

Let your senses be dazzled as you savor the balance of boysenberry jam, a pop of red currants, toasted anise biscotti hot out the oven and a refreshing mid-palate brightness. The density of flavor, paired with a juicy softness, serves as a testament to the superb quality of the fruit sources that make up this universally appealing wine.
