2015 Merlot Details
2015 Merlot
Our Merlot is complete with structure, balance and a mouthful of fruit flavors of black fruit, herbs and coffee lend to its complexity. Enjoyable in their youth, our wines are hand crafted to stand the test of time revealing beauty and grace with age.
Tasting Notes
The wine starts out with a fresh black cherry aroma with a hint of sarsaparilla and black pepper. The wine fills your mouth with juicy threads of ripe plums and young raspberries and finishes with a velvety smooth taste of light coffee. Medium yet solid tannins show through and a balanced acidity from start to finish.Vineyard Designation
Sams Valley VineyardVineyard Notes
The spring gave us a warm and flowering and fruit set with a high quality of fruit. The rest of the year gave the vineyard a long growing season with very little frost pressure in the spring or the fall. We had an average heat index that got us through a harvest ending in late October.Awards
