From low-yielding Pritchard Hill and Calistoga blocks, our 2005 Merlot is an 11 on a seduction scale of 10. Intense blueberry, cocoa and cedar-infused oak aromas alone are enough to quicken your pulse. In your mouth, the wine is saturated with redolent, ripe-on-the-vine fruit with fine, fleshy texture. Satisfyingly rich and delicious with stiff yet silky tannins, prepare yourself for some serious pleasure. 500 cases produced.
