Our estate vineyard is located in the <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Oak-Knoll-District-of-Napa-Valley.html" target=_new>Oak Knoll District</a> of southern <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Napa-Valley.html" target=_new>Napa Valley</a>. Soils are of the Hare clay loam type underlaid with gravel, and are shallow (24”) and low in vigor<br><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Tasting Notes:</span><br>
Our Merlot is handcrafted from grapes grown in our vineyard in the Oak Knoll district of Napa Valley. Deep and dark ruby/plum in color, the 2005 Merlot is big, dark and intense with mouth filling fruit of blackberry, black cherry and cassis. Aromatics of sweet cherry liquor, caramel, toffee, coffee, and forest floor that lead to a profile of cedar, earth, black cherry and crème de cassis that is both exotic and elegant. The abundant fine grained tannins and youthful acids provide ample structure to this wine. <br><br>
This vintage of our estate Merlot can be enjoyed immediately for it’s freshness and intensity, but will only improve with further bottle age through at least 2015. <br><br>
