What to Expect

Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Winemakers Notes

Tasting NotesOur Sonoma Vineyards merlot is flavorful and fun, loaded with fruit that will have you dreaming of wild berries and juicy plums.

Ancient Armstrong RedwoodsDuring the grape growing season, the same fog that blankets Sonoma County each night collects in the needles of the coast redwoods, and drips down to their root zone. Essential to grape quality, fog is equally essential to these read more...redwoods, which are found only on the California coast, and measure as the tallest trees on the planet, growing easily over 300 feet and living as long as 2000 years.
Sonoma WinegrowingMaking wine from such a delightful place as Sonoma County requires technical skill and sound judgment. The skill is in when to pick the fruit, how to ferment it, how long to age it and when to bottle it. The sound judgment is about when to step out of the way, and let nature do its thing. That's natural winemaking, and that's at the heart of every bottle of Sonoma Vineyards. After all, everything is already in place, from ideal soils and weather to the intrinsic charm that pervades just about everything here, especially grape vines. The maritime climate, well drained soils and long growing season allows the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. Vines thrive here; the proof is in the glass.
