About This Wine


Earth's Draw

Merlot

Our Earth’s Draw Merlot showcases the harmonious relationship between human and nature. This fruit-forward wine offers decadent dark fruit flavors with a refreshing, herbal lift. Our local winemaking partners have been working the land in Sonoma County for over 50 years and see nature as the driving force behind what they do. This diverse region offers various microclimates that affect each vineyard’s unique growing conditions and ecosystem. Merlot thrives in this environment where it can showcase cool and warm-climate characteristics depending on location. Our 2020 vintage falls right in the middle of these two expressions with its full body, modest acidity, and plump fruit flavors. A skilled touch of oak-softened, sturdy tannins results in an enjoyable wine on its own or alongside roasted potatoes, grilled steak, or a hardy stew. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


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.

Tasting Notes


  • A figure representing the Blueberry tasting note. Blueberry
  • A figure representing the Mint tasting note. Mint
  • A figure representing the Plum tasting note. Plum

On the nose, stimulating herbaceous aromas of spearmint tickle the nostrils. The palate is weighty, with structure provided by firm tannins rather than acidity. Flavors of ripe blueberry and plum linger on a sweet, fruity finish.
