About the wine
Rich, complex Merlot from an Angel-turned-winemaker
- A richly complex Merlot blend (with 9% Malbec, 3% Cab Franc and 3% Petit Verdot) with a hint of oak on this deep ripe fruit from the Sonoma region of California.
- Tom was one of our 50,000 Angels...until his little garage winemaking project caught our attention – we helped him raise a million bucks to work with his dream vineyard and make his dream wine at a cutting-edge winery.
- This late-harvested Merlot took a bit of extra time to ripen, but that results in a softer, lusher wine with a smooth finish and lots of pure flavors.
