Carneros Merlot
Merlot shines in the long, cooler growing season of Carneros. Our estate vineyards are planted with 75 acres of Merlot in a variety of exposures and soil type – all on the warmer, more inland hillsides of the region – giving winemaker Jeff Stewart a rich palette of flavors from which to choose. An impressive example of Carneros fruit, the Carneros Merlot is well balanced, full–bodied and packed with pomegranate and chocolate. Multiple layers unfold with each sip and round, smooth tannins promise great aging potential.
This versatile food wine that pairs well with lamb, red meat, flavorful tomato–sauced pastas, filet mignon, lasagna or even herb roasted chicken.
