    Winemaker Notes

    Blend: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

    Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, clove, anise and dark chocolate are the introduction to this rich Merlot, as flavors of ripe black cherry and boysenberry syrup greet the palate. An integrated tannin structure that features notes of sweet vanilla and chocolate from the 100 percent French oak (50% new) lead to a well structured, luxurious finish with lingering notes of licorice, clove and brown spices.

    As Napa Valley’s third most planted grape, Napa Valley Merlot shows time and time again its potential to produce exceptional results. Napa’s vaunted combination of climate, soil and the human factor of winemaking expertise lead to big, ripe, cellar-worthy and world-class versions.

    Whether made by itself in single varietal bottlings or as an important role in Bordeaux Blends, Merlot continues a prominent role in this famous region. While Cabernet typically takes the lead role, Merlot’s contribution—even at 10% to 20% or so—is significant indeed. Often described as “the flesh on Cabernet’s bones,” Merlot lends a soft, round and plush character that beautifully complements Cabernet’s linear, full-throttle structure. Its flavors of plums plus subtle herbs and mint also dovetail nicely with Cabernet’s blackberry and cassis.
