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.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Plum tasting note. Plum
  • A figure representing the Black Pepper tasting note. Black Pepper
  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

Tastes of dark fruit layered with plum and black cherry with olive tapenade savory notes. The wine is full-bodied and well structured, with a ripe, fleshy texture and an exuberant nose. This is a Merlot that over-delivers. This wine has a fully ripe style and is round and plush.
