2006 Stephen Vincent Merlot

Our full bodied Merlot is produced from a careful blend of 70% Monterey and 30% Sonoma grapes. We use a balance of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to achieve bold, plum and berry flavors that produce a long finish, and just the right amount of soft tannin to enhance the structure of the wine. A combination of French oak adds toasty complexity to this delicious wine.

Winemaker tasting notes: Rich, dark ruby color, with flavors of plum and berry.

Food suggestions: chicken, veal, beef, pork, pasta.
