We selected grapes from the famous appellations of Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys in Sonoma County to produce this Merlot.   The grapes are hand-picked and then undergo an extended maceration of weeks to assure dark, rich color and full flavors.   The wine is then barrel-aged for months in French and American oak, then blended for perfect balance.   The result is a full-bodied wine with berry flavors and a lengthy finish.   Enjoy this by the glass or with your favorite meat and pasta dishes.
