This wonderful Merlot tastes of ripe berries, and its 20% Cabernet blend gives it backbone and complexity.

Medium-bodied with ripe blackberry fruit. Earthy, currant flavors and smoky oak notes.

Geyser Peak Merlot, California

89% Merlot, 6% Shiraz, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermented on the skins for only 5 days to avoid pickup of excess tannin. After completion of fermentation off skins, the wines were racked to barrels. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz were added to the blend to fill out the palate and enhance the bouqet.

On the palate, the wine is silky and elegant with expansive flavors of ripe red and blue fruits within a framework of French and oak and supple tannins.

Geyser Peak Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma

Individual, high quality batches of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from hillside vineyards in Alexander Valley are selected for this wine.
