This wine's deep, concentrated color hints at the rich aromas and flavors to come: dark Bing cherry, red licorice, plum preserves and a touch of dried lavender lead to a bright, juicy mid-palate. Balanced and vibrant with good acidity, polished tannins and a long, quenching finish.

Handsomely structured, with refined red currant, mocha and tomato leaf accents that build richness toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2031. 980 cases made.

An opaque red/black color, the 2021 Merlot Sonoma Valley Reserve leads with notes of dark earth, black plum, cocoa, and espresso. Full-bodied, it coats the palate and retains a delicate freshness on the finish, with hints of red apple and plush tannins. It's an approachable wine now but can be enjoyed over the next 6-8 years.
