2019 MERLOT

NAPA VALLEY

“This lovely blend of fruit from our two Napa Valley estates continues to highlight the caliber of Merlot that can be grown in the heart of the appellation. The nose is abundant with fresh red cherry, cranberry, raspberry jam, and a very light hint of star anise. Those beautiful red fruits transition to subtle notes of fresh plum, graphite, and light cocoa on the palate. Lush acidity and long round tannins carry this food-friendly wine to a gentle but memorable finish.” – Justin Carr

 
94 Points, VinePair, 20 Best Merlots of 2024

“This is an approachable bottling, crafted from vineyards on its two Napa Valley estates. These wines set the standard for balanced and expressive Merlot. The nose has a slight hint of earth with a quiet leafy note that’s balanced by a brambly blueberry aroma with flecks of black pepper. The nose alone will make you swoon (cry?) but the palate takes it to the next level. It’s so balanced with a beautiful fruit concentration and lithe tannic frame. The mouthfeel is fleshy and inviting.Readers, this is
the Merlot to get you back into Merlot.” – Keith Beavers

93 Points, James Suckling

This is crunchy and fruity with pine needles, chocolate, and berry fruit. Medium-bodied and lightly austere, with mushroom and bark undertones. Structured tannins. Will age nicely.” – James Suckling

GROWING SEASON

2019 was a very wet winter with rain coming into spring. Keeping the vines in balance was especially important this year. Successful management of the vines along with wonderfully mild weather through summer gave us warm days and cool nights. This is a recipe for success in vineyards, the vintage gave us a great balance of sugar and acid with complete phenolic ripening.
