Surrounded by the Mendocino Mountain range and redwood forests, Mendocino County’s rugged terroir is ideal for creating fresh, fruity Merlot grapes that blend perfectly with the rich and spicy flavors of grapes from Sonoma County. The 2018 Merlot is round and balanced with inviting aromas of blackberry jam, dark chocolate, blueberry and subtle touches of toasty oak. The palate is rich with flavors of black plum, soft tannin and a lingering finish.
