Winemakers Notes
This Merlot opens with an alluring bouquet of dark plum, violet, tea leaf and a delicate touch of dried rosemary. The palate is round and inviting, with glossy tannins and a harmonious blend of mocha and dark fruit flavors that flow seamlessly alongside the layers of boysenberries, blackberries, and mocha. The luscious core of dark berry fruits are complemented by a polished texture that leads to savory notes of sage, Bay Laurel, and black olives, adding depth and complexity to this mouth pleasing and juicy wine. The wine finishes rich and flavorful with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and crushed stone, providing a depth and refinement, showcasing the intriguing nature of Napa Valley's 2022 vintage.
Blend: 91% Merlot, 5% Petite Sirah and 4% Malbec
Oak Treatment: 100% French oak (25% new) for 19 months
CRITIC ACCLAIM
“Plush and generous aromas of Damson plums, citrus peel, iodine and tea leaves. This is full-bodied with soft tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of mocha, blackberry compote, purple flowers and dried herbs. Soft yet serious.” -95 points, James Suckling, January 30, 2025
