Our Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot blends the traditional craftsmanship of California winemaking with the exotic tradition of dark rum barrel aging for an incredibly bold and unique sensory expression. The cool climate of our coastal vineyards imparts the wine with rich aromas of molasses, maple and black plum. Jammy, but well-balanced flavors of plum and blueberry on the palate. Select lots are then aged in rum barrels, delivering complex nuances of toasted coconut, molasses and rich vanilla when added to the blend.
