Tasting Notes
Much of the fruit for our Block 9 Merlot is sourced from vineyards with particularly course, sandy soils. These conditions are seemingly lifeless and inhospitable, yet produce a wine with dark, sinewy layers of flavor and concentrated fruit. Light pepper notes provide a top-end flourish to accompany the long finish.

92% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Syrah
Aging
Aged for 18 months in 13% new French oak, 36% new American oak, and 51% old French and American oak.
