About This Wine


Earth's Draw

Merlot

The 2024 vintage is what happens when pure Merlot meets a long, golden afternoon in Mendocino’s sun-drenched valleys. It’s a fireside wine—meant for low light, easy laughter, and the kind of conversations that stretch late into the night. From the first swirl, plush aromas of black plum, black cherry, and cassis rise from the glass, deep and inviting.


On the palate, it’s lush and mouth-filling, with waves of dark fruit compote and a dusting of cocoa. Hints of nutmeg and allspice add warmth to the background. Smooth and round, yet confidently structured, this Merlot balances richness with poise. The finish lingers with juicy black fruit and a gentle spice that feels like the last crackle of a glowing fire.Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Mendocino County

Mendocino County

One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
