Brand New! 

2003 Merlot

Our first Merlot Vineyard, planted in 1992.  This vineyard produced spectacular fruit.  This unique and special vineyard was removed to allow for what is now the winery parking lot.  The 2003 vintage is the last fruit of the vines used to craft this very special wine.

Though still displaying the complexity and structure for which our wines are known, this unique and special wine highlights a refining grace and brilliance, with sophisticated aromas and distinctive blueberry notes.  It open with exotic layers of spice, red plum, chestnut and vanilla, before revealing a velvety texture, firm ripe tannins and alluring flavors of blueberry, cherry, mocha and walnut.
