2009 Livermore Valley Merlot
Best of Class - 2012 SF Chronicle Wine Competition

Rarely will you find a Merlot that captures your heart so completely.  From the One Oak vineyard in the Crane Ridge area, this is the real deal, from the beautiful purple plum and Bing cherry aromas, to the long, intense finish that screams blueberry-cherry pie a la mode with chocolate ice cream. In the middle you’ll find zippy plum tart flavors, raspberry jam, cranberry, walnuts, juicy acidity, hints of dark brown sugar, cinnamon stick and clove, and a hint of chocolate mint. It is deeply satisfying without being in the least bit cloying. That’s testimony to well-balanced fruit.

This is “the bomb,” if you are looking for the biggest, most well-built wine to handle your favorite grilled tri-tip or coulotte steak. It’s the complete wine.  One of the best in the lineup.
