Tasting Notes
Our 2022 Sonoma County Reserve Merlot opens with vanilla bean and toasted spice on the nose. The sultry palate layers black tea, molasses, and cocoa over silky tannins lasting through the extended finish. Pair with prime rib or creamy mushroom pasta.

After a three-day cold soak, we crushed and fermented the grapes in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed off the skins then transferred to barrels and stirred twice monthly until the secondary malolactic fermentation was complete. After 18 months of aging in 70% new French oak, the wine was filtered and bottled in April 2024.
