Well-drained soils and ideal sun exposure produced fruit with exceptional ripeness, resulting in a wine thatbalances classic Merlot character with elegance and refinement.

The near-perfect 2024 vintage delivered outstanding concentration and balance, while 21 months of aging in 88% new French oak added richness and structure. The result is a beautifully layered Oakville Merlot with expressive fruit, polished tannins, and a long, sophisticated finish.

THE VINEYARD: The majority of the fruit for this Merlot comes from the vineyards of our long-term growers in Oak Knoll District where slightly cooler temperatures provide ideal growing conditions for Merlot and enables us to pick the fruit when ripeness and freshness are in perfect harmony.
