2019 Page-Turner Proprietary Red Wine
The Merlot that makes up the majority of the blend was harvested from the Holmes Vineyard, a well-drained site on west side of Oakville near To-Kalon and downslope from Harlan. Planted in early ’80s & ’90s, clones include heritage selections which lend luxurious aromas of ripe black stone fruits, juicy berries, baking spices, and toasty French oak. The mid-palate is lush and textured with velvety tannins. Drink now or cellar up to ten years.

Grape clusters were field-sorted, hand-harvested, hand-sorted at the winery. Fruit was de-stemmed and cold soaked for two days.
Our Vision
Given the unmatched quality of the Holmes Vineyard, making a Merlot-centric blend from Oakville became an essential for us. A drop of Cabernet Sauvignon gives a hint of structure to the Merlot’s plush nature while allowing the fruit to be in the spotlight. Field sorting and hand-harvesting protected the integrity of the fruit for a wine. After 28 days on their skins, we gently pressed into French Oak barrels, where lots completed ML fermentation over th winter.
