The grapes harvested for this Merlot come primarily from Mendocino County where the Merlot grape excels in the slightly cooler climate.

This Merlot is dry, rich in flavor and smooth at its finish. Possessing a great mouth feel and balance, this Mendocino and Sonoma County grape blend has a deep garnet color and a rich, silky texture. The tannins are firm and smoothly integrated, and the fruit shows ripe berry notes balanced with an influence of oak aging.

The blending of Cabernet Sauvignon into this wine softens the mouth feel while at the same time provides a firming backbone to create a very a lovely wine.
