Our 2004 Merlot is soft and jammy. It is rich with ripe5 black fruit notes of blackberry and cherry. The wine’s barrel select aging resulted in soft vanilla and toasty oak flavors, as well as a hint of spice and a mild chocolate finish.

The grapes for our Merlot were gently processed in order to capture their fruit flavor. The wine went through malolactic fermentation, which reduced its total acidity levels and resulted in a softer, more complex wine. The blend was then barrel aged for over six months in both American and European oak. Exposure to oak enhanced the vanilla and oak notes in the wine.
