2023 Estate Merlot

Crafted entirely from grapes grown on our warm-climate Home Ranch in the eastern Santa Ynez Valley, our Estate Grown Merlot is a sumptuous red wine layered with fragrant black cherry and dark plum aromas, accented by vanilla, milk chocolate, and subtle herbal notes.

On the palate, it’s juicy and succulent, with concentrated flavors of dark cherry, plum, and cassis lifted by a zesty tea-leaf spice that lingers through a long, savory finish.

Beautifully balanced with supple tannins, this Merlot is delicious upon release with poultry, duck, game, and beef dishes—and it will reward 3–4 years of additional bottle aging.
