Winemaker Notes: 

"Merlot from Alexander Valley Vineyards is sometimes overlooked due to the success of our world class Cabernet Sauvignon. However, visitors to the winery quickly realize that our Merlot is equally stunning. First produced in 1984, this is a rich, concentrated red wine. Some call it a Merlot for Cab drinkers, we call it a Merlot for serious Merlot lovers. 

This wine impresses red wine lovers immediately with spicy aromas of cassis, black cherry, plum, vanilla, oak and slight chocolate in the glass. Our Merlot is full bodied with big flavors of blackberry, plum, cassis and juicy red cherry. The layered flavors are well balanced with a long, textured finish." 

Alcohol: 14% 

Sustainably farmed.
