"Intense aromas of raspberry and plum with a hint of dried cherries. Exceptional mouthfeel, with concentrated flavors of red fruit. Plush tannins confer the wine a rich finish; with a hint of cocoa, caramel, and dry currants."

"The Carneros region with its climate and clay soils allows us to produce a Merlot which is true to the varietal’s characteristics. The longer growing season allows the fruit to reach maturity slowly, giving us fruit which is soft and elegant, yet rich and full flavored."

"Limited by Mother Nature, our 2010 Signature Merlot is exceptionally well-balanced and rewardingly complex. Floral aromas of lavender and violet join clove, black tea and incense on the vibrant, inviting nose. At its core are warm, ripe flavors of dark plum, Black Mission fig and blueberry, laced with enriching hints of vanilla, cola and cassis. Plush and rich yet with plenty of structure, this is a wine for immediate enjoyment or longer term aging."
