We’re thrilled to unveil our 2005 Merlot
We are releasing our 2005 Merlot on December 1. It is a lustrous, dark-ruby color with a lovely perfume of red and black currants, cream of cassis, toasted bread, pencil lead, Asian spices and wild berries. On the palate, it is a rich, layered, velvety-textured wine with complex flavors of spicy ripe black fruit, earth, and cedar. This wine has a great sense of place, beautifully balanced with a terrific, long finish.
Our winemaker, Jean-François Pellet, is very excited about the release of this wine. The 2005 vintage started off as a big challenge because the previous year had been a freeze year with a very small crop in our estate vineyards. However, 2005 made up for all the frustrations of 2004, with Mother Nature providing us with a stellar harvest, among the very best in the history of this winery.
As always, production is quite limited and we typically sell out soon after release. Please don’t miss out on this thrilling vintage — after all, we only made 1,400 cases.
