Note: Cherry fruit, dried leaves, flint, light body, juicy, herbal, red fruited wine with fine tannin and a saline, acid driven finish.

Elevage: Grapes were crushed and destemmed into a bin and let to ferment with once daily punchdowns. After twenty-one days the grapes were pressed and settled juice was moved to old French oak barrels to complete fermentation, including full malolactic, which finished in August of 2023. In September the wine was racked out of barrel and bottled by hand without fining or filtration.

Miscellaneous: This is our first ever one-hundred percent merlot release. Bright and juicy with salty acids this wine can stand up to big flavors on the plate. Raised in old pinot noir barrels.
