Varietal Composition: 100% estate fruit - 98% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon
Rector Creek Vineyard is located north of the town of Yountville along the Silverado Trail. A unique climate featuring a cooling afternoon breeze combined with Rector Creek’s rocky alluvial soils creates excellent growing conditions for the vines. As a result, Rector Creek produces an elegant expression of Merlot with attractive blueberry and allspice aromatics, velvety structure and refined character highlighting classic notes of spicy plum.

Beautifully full-bodied, with supple tannins and a robust, age-worthy structure, the palate offers flavors of cassis, dark chocolate and Mission figs that build to an impeccably balanced finish.
