winemaker's notes:
The 2006 growing season was long and cool, allowing the grapes to hang on the vine
and mature longer. As a result, this Merlot delivers exceptional concentration and
impressive length. To enrich the color, small amounts of Syrah and Petite
Sirah are blended in. Then, the wine is aged in small French oak barrels, which lend lovely notes of
sweet vanilla to this elegant, full-bodied Merlot.
