Ruby red, almost purple in color with a nose of black plum, mint chocolate and roasted coffee bean. Straightforward and balanced with flavors of toasty black cherry, a hint of black pepper spice and chalky tannins on the finish.
The rugged terrain of Northern Sonoma County is ideally
suited for growing Bordeaux varietals. The warmer
daytime inland temperatures of this mountainous region
are cooled dramatically at night as the cold maritime
breezes of the Pacific work their way up the Russian River
Valley. The rocky soils of the mountain ridges combine
with the lusher soils found in the lower bench-land
growing areas to provide a diverse range of flavor profiles
to this Merlot. The fruit was hand picked in the early
morning hours and entered the winery in a cold state
where it was hand sorted prior to de-stemming. An
extended cold soak of 6 days combined with twice daily
punch-downs in order to achieve full extraction and a
complex flavor profile. A light pressing was followed by 24
months in new and used French and American Oak prior
to bottling in July 2008. Lush black fruit flavors and soft
tannins are precisely balanced by bright acidity.
