Appellation:
The Alexander Valley’s warm climate, marine-cooled evenings and well-drained, volcanic hillside soils translate to rich wines with smooth, well-structured tannins.
Winemaking:
Following harvest and fermentation, aging in a combination of French and American oak barrels showcases the bright, varietally expressive palate of this Merlot.
Tasting Notes:
Deliciously approachable with vibrant, ripe black cherry flavors, accented by notes of toasted caramel and vanilla, with smooth, well-structured tannins.
