Ah Merlot, how do we love you, let us count the ways. One: Your nose of ripe plum, bright white cherry, Lincoln rose, sweet cardamom and vanilla. Two: Your beautiful full mouth with hints of currant and lively red fruits. Three: Your soft silky tannins that finish ever so gently and leave us wanting more. We could go on for days, but we think instead of reading this you should pop that cork and find out.
This Merlot is a crowd pleaser that is going to be an amazing accompaniment to all of your summer time adventures. Merlo, is a wonderfully versatile wine that will pair well with flavors ranging from a beautiful bolognaise, to a pungent feta, to a fresh off the grill pizza.
This intensely inky-colored Cabernet Sauvignon wine is grown in the well-drained, stoney and iron-rich soils of the Weir Family Vineyard along the Silverado Trail, one mile south of the famed Stags’ Leap appellation and ten yards from the Oak Knoll District, the Valley’s newest sub-appellation. The rich, spicy nose of bakers’ chocolate and black cherry compliments the brooding and spice-filled black licorice, black cherry, plum and cranberry on the palate. The addition of 5% Merlot enhances the complexity of the wine, as well as adding to our trademark robust and silky mid-palate. Aged for 19 months in small French and American oak cooperage, our Cabernet Sauvignon will flourish with bottle age. This newest wine is surely a treasure to keep for many years in your personal cellar.

Our sixth vintage, this 2007 Napa Valley Estate Bottled Syrah is the first made from our newest vineyard: Weir Family Vineyard III in the Eastern foothills of the Valley. On the nose, our Syrah shows aromas of red and black fruits. This inky, dark red wine fills the mouth with firm, meaty tannins, complementing a rich mix of cherry, black cherry, chocolate, and leather. With an extremely long finish, this well-structured Syrah begs for the accompaniment of food--anything roasted and in need of a wine able to accent and deepen the experience of hearty meat dishes.
