Bright cherry, currant, toasty oak, clove, vanilla...

Cart Total: $0.00

Wine Profile:

Vintage:	2009
Wine Type:	Red Wine
Varietal:	Merlot
Appellation:	Napa Valley
Alcohol %:	14.5

Tasting Notes:

Color: deep red with black hues

Aroma: bright forward cherry and currant, toasty oak, caramel, clove, vanilla, and bay leaf

Taste: focused entry leads to a round, fleshy mid-palate with moderate acidity. The wine displays great richness, while not being heavy. The finish is moderately long, accented by red fruit and barrel notes.

Vineyard Notes:

We love Merlot planted in the southern part of the Napa Valley, and in particular from around the town of Napa and Carneros, for its robust fruit flavors and added structure.

Winemaker Notes:

The fruit was handpicked and carefully sorted. Fermentation was intentionally fast and warm, with a total of 6 days on the skins. The wine was pressed for good color extraction while minimizing fruit bitterness. We aged it in both French and American oak barrels for about 18 months, with 32% of the barrels being new.
