Gnarly vines aren't pretty. The twisted grapevines that give our wine its big, bold flavors have struggled and survived by digging deep. That's where the good stuff is: At the edge of what's possible. Our Merlot grapes comes fully loaded, right off the vine, with explosively rich, incredibly flavorful layers of juicy plum and black cherry. Add a hint of complex herbs and spice and you have a naturally intense red ready to take on blue cheese burgers, garlic-stuffed chicken and braised short ribs. Sustainability. Quality.
