The subtleties of organic growing are well expressed in our distinctive Merlot. Raised on vines in a valley that absorbs the full brilliance of a Mendocino County day, this nuanced wine blends a focused Merlot character with an evident heritage of Bordeaux. Aromas of cranberry, chocolate and cola spice add to the old-world style. Our Merlot is wonderfully dry, with compelling fruit and touches of herbs and light oak.

"Deep garnet color. Vibrant chocolate coconut macaroon and berry crust pie aromas follow through on a soft, supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with tangy sour cherry, apple and tomato skin accents. Finishes in a long, dark berry and cocoa fade with a dash of minerals. A delicious, balanced and engaging red to sip or pair with almost anything."
