Wine & Spirits
John Williams and his team focus this wine on merlot grown at the vineyard surrounding their winery on the east side of Rutherford, where clay soils near the Napa River provide a cool environment for the vine roots. Those vines grew a tart, plummy wine in 2015 that leaves beautiful freshness in its wake. The richness of the sweet fruit bristles with lively notes of spice, bark and bitters, lasting in a bright savor for rack of lamb.
Notes
Winemaker's Notes: "Extravagant plum fruit aromas enriched by the lush flavors that Merlot is famous for. Grown in cool clay soils, this wine shows why some of the rarest wines in the world start with Merlot. With its beautiful dark raspberry aromas and silken yet powerful flavors, this without question is a wine for the cellar. And with a few years of age, this wine will beg for a well-seasoned pork roast on a bed of fall root vegetables. 81% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon."
