Varietal - Merlot
Region - Sonoma Valley, Sonoma, California
Tasting Notes - Winemaker Notes "This classically structured Merlot is crafted in the Bordeaux style that Walter Schug pioneered in California while winemaster of Joseph Phelps Vineyards (1973 to 1983). The Merlot grapes were grown on the Sangiacomo vineyards in the Carneros district of southern Sonoma Valley. This cooler microclimate provides the longer growing season necessary for Merlot to ripen slowly and develop maximum flavor, while retaining good acid balance. This Merlot has a spicy bouquet, deep color and exhibits full-bodied flavors of cherry, blackberry and spice.
Blend: 95% Merlot; 3% Cabernet Franc; 2% Cabernet Sauvignon"
