Winemaker Notes
“In 2017 I was fortunate enough to be introduced to grape grower George Weiler. Since then, we’ve become good friends and have spent time traveling in Europe together and enjoying some great food and wines. When he offered up some Merlot to work with, I jumped at the chance! You’ll find this luscious merlot full of cassis and ripe blackberry, with notes of vanilla, ending with a long finish.Enjoy now or lay down for more aging” –Winemaker Jon Phillips
Aged 13 months in 25% new French oak
