<I>2006 Private Reserve Merlot</I>
<P>
Our Private Reserve Merlot is aimed toward the stylistic goal of producing a big, mouth-filling Merlot that finishes with a velvety softness. Our 2006 Private Reserve Merlot packs a nose-pleasing punch of vanilla, cola, and dark fruit aromas with a hint of nutmeg and pepper. On the palate, a bright burst of dried cherry flavors and chewy tannins combine and develop - inviting the next sip. Produced in a very bold style, this expressive wine will stand up to extremely rich foods and sauces. <BR><BR>WINEMAKERS NOTES<BR>The 2006 vintage was produced from fruit grown in San Ysidro Vineyards in Southern Santa Clara County. This is our fifth Private Reserve Merlot release from this vineyard, and we continue to be pleased with the quality of fruit grown here. After fermentation, the wine was allowed to age for approximately nineteen months in a combination of French & American 60-gallon oak barrels. The 2006 Santa Clara Valley Merlot should continue to gain additional complexities in the bottle for at least another 3 - 4 years. This 2006 bottling yielded approximately 500 cases.<BR><BR>Vintage: ....................... 2006<BR>Appellation: ....................
