Our Sonoma County Merlot includes fruit sourced from vineyards across Alexander Valley and Bennett Valley as well as from an eclectic diversity of soils, sun exposure, clones, rootstocks and altitudes. All blocks were fermented and aged individually to respect the terroir of each vineyard. Lots were evaluated several times and aer 14 months the blend was made and returned to barrels, allowing the wine to age two additional months in French oak barrels. Every lot and every barrel that was blended into this Merlot is meant to be part of this sleek, silky and elegant wine.
