We say Sonoma, California is the best place for Merlot: balance of sun and fog, warm soil but refreshing air, is ideal for the ripe, bold-skinned Merlot fruit. Our Merlot is blended with a perfect mix of its cousins, Cabernet Sauvignon (9%) and Cabernet Franc (1%) and barrel aged for 18 months to fully integrate its layers of flavor. With soft tannins and black cherry, cedar, and spice, this is all the smooth complexity we love in a Merlot.
