About This Wine


Earth's Draw

Merlot

What makes a wine good? There are a lot of factors that can be used to evaluate wine, but ultimately we believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What we will do is tell you what we love about the Earth’s Draw Merlot. It’s full-bodied—the wine just feels big when you taste it, and it’s full of flavor that isn’t just one fruit-forward note. We’d go as far as saying that it’s lush and complex. With plum and blackberry mingling with hints of eucalyptus, mint, and nutmeg, it seems like more flavors reveal themselves with every sip. As it opens up we’ve found a subtle taste of rose that peeks through the fruit. To get even more out of this wine we’ve been pairing it with roasted duck breast, lamb burgers, and tomatoes. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal from the 2020 West Coast Wine Competition and the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

This wine has a few notes that you don't see every day. While the plum and blackberry fruit notes are present, it's the eucalyptus, mint, and nutmeg flavors that make this a truly fun wine. We pair the Earth's Draw with full-bodied dishes and fresh vegetables.
