*Tasting Notes:*
All of our wines come from our estate vineyard in the eastern Napa Valley hills just south of the Stags Leap appellation. Growing the grapes in our estate vineyard gives us complete control over every detail to enhance and improve the quality of our wines.
The 2006 vintage is accessible and balanced to accompany with a wide range of dishes. This vintage of Merlot has a refreshing lean, with a bright focused finish. It's concentrated, with smoky oak notes from a mix of mostly French and a bit of American barrels. The flavors and aromas are forward, perfumed plush red fruit, and ripe without being overpowering – a wine that compliments food. There is also a touch of cedar from the oak barrels. The combination of structure, depth and richness makes this 2006 Merlot drinkable now but it could easily age if you can wait. Please enjoy our 2006 Merlot with family and friends.
