Winemaker Notes

Our 2014 is a 100% Merlot, made with fruit from a small family-owned vineyard. The Dry Creek Valley climate has an extended growing season resulting in wines with deep, complex flavors. The Merlot was fermented and aged 20 months in neutral barrels with medium toasted French oak sticks.

Tasting Notes

This vintage shows lively spices and ripe berry nuances. Aromas of red cherry, dried flowers and pepper fill the senses. The palate is full of wonderful fruity complexity, combining a mixture of red plum, black cherry and red cherry. There’s a spicy undertone and the tannins are silky and smooth.
