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.
