Our Merlot fruit comes from two blocks atop a knoll in the famed Hyde Vineyard, where harvests typically yield less than two tons per acre. It’s a youthful wine that’s invitingly approachable, while still offering the richness and decadence we love.
OUR TASTING NOTES
The 2014 Merlot evokes classic black cherry, wild plum and cocoa that dominate the bouquet. Subtle hints of dried rose petal support the enticing aromatics. Luxurious tannins give structure to the lush berry fruit, warm nutmeg spice and creamy milk chocolate finish.
