2020 Merlot Moon Mountain District

Wine Notes Print tech sheet

Mountain-grown wines are renowned for their strength, complexity, and robust structure. In rugged volcanic terrain, the vines struggle to establish themselves, producing smaller berries with remarkable concentration. Grown at an elevation of 1,800 feet, our Merlot from the Moon Mountain District expresses its hillside origins with vibrant, opulent fruit and a refined flavor profile, enhanced by velvety tannins. The distinctive geography of Sonoma’s Moon Mountain District is ideally suited to crafting wines of both power and grace, a hallmark of this Merlot bottling.
