2006 Merlot, Barrel Select

Winemaker Notes:
We are absolutely thrilled to offer you this limited, small bottling of single vineyard Merlot from Atlas Peak! Grown on the super steep Coliseum Block by Henry Hossfeld, this massive wine benefits from low yields, which give us a high berry skin ratio. Notes of dark cherry and sweet vanilla fill the aromatic bouquet with delight. The palate has endless silky, seductive tannins with loads of dark fruit flavor. Drink now or cellar for up to ten years.

Food Pairing ideas:
Pairs well with grilled or roasted beef, duck, braised or grilled chicken, pork loin, and mushrooms.

Varietals: 100% Merlot
Production: 57 cases, 750ml
