Tasting Notes with Founder Jonathan Pey

Release

Vintage: 2024

Varietal: Merlot

AVA: Napa Valley

  • Crafted to showcase ‘Textbook’ characteristics of Napa Valley Merlot, lushness and velvety tannins with European restraint and elegance.

  • Final blend composed with separate lots sourced from sub-appellations throughout the Napa Valley resulting in a well-balanced wine with layered complexity.

  • A touch of Cabernet Sauvignonis blended in to provide a strong backbone and tannin structure, which perfectly balances the plush texture of Merlot.

  • "Aromas of ripe blackberry and dark cherry unfold into layers of raspberry, cocoa, and subtle spice. Silky on the palate with supple tannins and balanced structure, the wine finishes smooth, polished, and distinctly Napa.”

    —Abigail Estrada, Winemaker

Our Vision

We like to think of our Napa Valley Merlot as our right place, right time wine. You’d be hard-pressed to find a California region where Merlot flourishes better than in the Napa Valley. The slightly longer growing season allows those lush, plush qualities to mature while also giving enough space for the fruit to come to life. The ideal amount of tannin gives the wine enough structure for aging.

Your Experience

Our Napa Valley Merlot checks all the boxes. It’s balanced, layered, complex, and so flavorful. Enjoy by the fire while glamping, at a romantic dinner for two, with an elevated home cooked meal, or at any occasion that calls for a slow-sipping wine.
