2018 Merlot - Pickberry Vineyard
Sonoma Mountain
Pickberry Vineyard sprawls over 30 rolling acres on the northeast slope of Sonoma Mountain. Planted in the 1980s in volcanic soil, the vines are subject to balmy days and cool nights, our Merlot bears bright notes of black cherry, chocolate and hint of anise, along with a lively acidity that makes the wine especially enticing.
