Description
The exceptional 2021 growing season produced an epic and elegantly full-bodied expression of Merlot from their famed Three Palms Vineyard, with alluring aromas of huckleberry, fig jam, cranberry, cocoa and rose petals. On the palate, flavors of blackberry, cherry, molasses and wet slate minerality are framed by a sumptuous structure and fine, graceful tannins.

James Suckling
This relaxed, deep and well-composed wine is rich in black fruit and oak spices on smooth, melted tannins. One of the classic California merlots, it is full-bodied and generous in dark cherry, tobacco leaf, cedar and bay leaf flavors, with accents of dark chocolate. Grown in the warmer, northern end of Napa Valley.
Wine Enthusiast
Fresh blue and black fruits, savory undertones, mixed herbs, spices and graphite carry a compelling and mouthwatering Merlot from one of the region’s most celebrated vineyards for the variety.
