Tasting Notes
The nose is ripe and luscious with dark berries, plums, cassis and spice. The palate is rich and velvety with great intensity and fine tannins. This is a rich, complex Merlot with an intense mouth feel that evolves into an elegant, lingering toasty oak finish.

About The Wine
For all the same reasons we grow and create great Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma Valley, we do so with Merlot. Cooler than central Napa and warmer than western Sonoma, the valley offers the mild conditions needed to produce deep, luscious, complex Merlot. This perfect locale for Merlot results in wines with the grace and suppleness commonly associated with benchland sites.

The vineyard sources for our 2006 vintage are Arrowood Estate Vineyard and Lasseter Vineyards. Our estate vineyard located at the winery has been organically farmed since 2004 and was officially certified organic by CCOF (CA Certified Organic Farmers) in 2006, as was Lasseter Vineyards. We have long believed in the benefits of organic farming. It is gentle on the environment and the people who work among the vines. We also find the wines from organically farmed sites to be especially vibrant, balanced and expressive. In our experience, the best way to reveal the essential terroir of a piece of land is through natural organic farming techniques.
