Tough mountain terrain and cool Monterey breezes atop the Santa Cruz Moutains gave way to this Merlot's balanced acidity and a deep rich red color.

Intense dark cherry and cassis flavors hits at the first sip. Pepper on the tongue with big, yet approachable tannins. Aged in oak barrels, the finish is silky and supple with just a hint of vanilla.
