Varietal Composition: 87% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc
Since our inaugural 1978 vintage, we have been proud to craft a vineyard-designate Merlot from the legendary Three Palms Vineyard. Named for its three iconic palm trees, this warm, up-valley vineyard features lean soils that cause the vines to send their roots deep in search of nutrients, yielding a profoundly intense and age-worthy wine with complex fruit and mineral layers. As a testament to its status as the benchmark for New World Merlot, in 2017, Wine Spectator honored our 2014 Three Palms Vineyard Merlot as “Wine of the Year.”

Winemaker Notes
The exceptional 2021 growing season produced an epic and elegantly full-bodied expression of Merlot from our famed Three Palms Vineyard, with alluring aromas of huckleberry, fig jam, cranberry, cocoa and rose petals. On the palate, flavors of blackberry, cherry, molasses and wet slate minerality are framed by a sumptuous structure and fine, graceful tannins.
