Napa Valley Reserve Merlot

The grapes for the Napa Valley Merlot were sourced from our vineyards in Rutherford as well as select growers in St. Helena and across Napa. Our estate vineyards are located on gravelly alluvial fan soils with good drainage, necessary for growing excellent quality Merlot. The vineyards are diligently monitored throughout the growing season to balance the crop size and quality. Shoot thinning and leaf removal early in the growing season followed by cluster thinning at veraison, helps to achieve evenly ripened grapes with concentrated flavors.
