Reserve - Red Ranch

2010 Alexander Valley Merlot

The Hanna Reserve - Red Ranch Merlot from the renowned Alexander Valley exudes elegance and sophistication with its deep red hue. This vintage showcases a full-bodied character, complemented by a medium acidity that creates a harmonious balance on the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing alluring notes of ripe black cherries and plums, interwoven with subtle hints of chocolate and spice. Tannins are notable yet refined, lending structure and depth to the wine without overpowering its fruit-forward profile. The finish is delightfully dry, leaving a lingering impression that invites you back for another sip. This wine embodies the essence of its origin, crafted to perfection in one of California's premier winegrowing regions.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
