- Selected wines from various California counties were blended to provide a Merlot with a fresh, intense plum and cherry vanilla aroma. A full, round, ripe berry flavor accompanied by a rather soft, spicy finish make this wine particularly delectable. A large portion of this wine was aged in French oak for eight months to add complexity and structure to the rather opulent fruit characteristics of the Merlot grapes.

- 98% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Sonoma County Merlot has notes of leather, smoke and green olive, plus a smattering of Sonoma Valley fruit that announces its presence with ripe plums and cherries, velvety texture and hint of brown sugar.
