2021 Estate Merlot

We are excited for the release of our 2021 Estate Merlot. It was grown in a new vineyard next to our winery on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2021 growing season was outstanding in the Santa Clara Valley, allowing for a medium crop with long hang time on the vine, giving intense and complex flavors. This wine has dark black and plum fruit flavors framed by sage, vanilla and cocoa oak aromas. The lush medium tannins balance the long berry finish.  Don’t hesitate to have this wine with some grilled burgers.  

Verde Estate Vineyard

This amazing vineyard was planted in 2010 and 2015 and is located at the foothills of the southern Diablo Range. It produces grapes of incomparable depth and flavor. The grapes were hand-picked at the peak of flavor and crushed within hours of harvest to ensure the flavor was maintained.
