2022 Estate Merlot
Napa Valley
The 2022 Estate Merlot is a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied wine that is remarkably easy to drink. Aromas of violets and ripe berry compote entice the senses, while the palate unfolds with layers of earthy undertones, subtle hints of graham cracker, and a touch of clove spice. Notes of espresso provide depth, rounding out the flavor profile. This Merlot finishes smoothly, with a gradual and lingering complexity that reflects its seamless integration of fruit, earth, and spice. An approachable yet refined expression of our estate vineyards.
