Reveals depths of black cherry, boysenberry and wild blueberries with subtle hints of vanilla and coconut. To add dimension to the wine, we added a touch of a unique grape called teroldego, which marries well with the merlot to create plush tannins and a long, lasting finish. Most of the fruit for this merlot was sourced from Lodi, with some originating from a vineyard near Brentwood. We selected merlot grapes for their dark fruit intensity and generous tannins to create a velvety mouthfeel. Portions of this wine were oak-aged for 3-4 months to preserve elegant fruit characteristics.
