WHERE Located in beautiful Carmel Valley. The vines are CCOF organic and dry farmed at between 1200 and 1500 feet of Elevation. Planted in 1982, this vineyard is now meticulously tended to by our good friend lan Brand, making this a must have for Merlot lovers.

HOW When working with a classic varietal like Merlot and from an area so famous for it we couldn't help but give a nod to the Big Kids on the block (mountain) and California Legends Ridge by purchasing our first ever American Oak Barrel from Canton Cooperage.

WHEN This wine is everything we want from Merlot! Tons of bright red fruit, lush texture and super long and smooth finish. A classic in its own time. Get it while its hot!
