We harvest Merlot from a variety of Napa Valley vineyards, including our own in the heart of the Oakville District. When tannin maturity and flavor development have reached their optimum stage the grapes are harvested, and not a moment before. This fanaticism for ripeness is evident in our Merlot, a wine that is plush, elegant and expresses remarkable concentrated fruit flavors with our hallmark supple tannins.

Flavors: Supple and ripe blackberry, black cherry and hints of toasted oak and vanilla fill the mouth with a full mid-palate and a long, round finish.
