Tasting Notes:

Elegant and expressive, our 2022 Reserve Merlot opens with aromas of ripe red plum and vanilla bean, unfolding into layers of dark cherry, baking spice, and toasted oak. Soft yet structured, this wine offers polished tannins and a silky finish, striking the perfect balance between richness and refinement.

Winemaker’s Notes:

Crafted from two of our most distinguished vineyard sites, the San Ignacio Merlot brings lush fruit and velvety texture, while the Herder Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure and depth. Aged in American oak for added roundness and spice, this wine is approachable now and will continue to evolve beautifully with time in the bottle.
