Winemaker Notes
We are proud to produce a balanced, full-bodied merlot that cabernet lovers can appreciate without losing the identity of this fruit-forward varietal. We harvested the fruit for our 2020 Merlot at the peak of ripeness and produced the wine using traditional winemaking practices. We carefully picked the barrels to highlight lush red fruit flavors, and we used 50% new French oak to influence the mouthfeel and depth without sacrificing smoothness and pretty aromatics.
