Crafted to showcase ‘Textbook’ characteristics of Napa Valley Merlot — lushness and velvety tannins with European restraint and elegance. Final blend composed with separate lots sourced from sub-appellations throughout the Napa Valley resulting in a well-balanced wine with layered complexity. Cabernet Sauvignon is blended in to provide a strong backbone and tannin structure, which perfectly balances the plush texture of Merlot.
