From the Winery:
Cuvaison's Napa Valley Carneros Merlot comes from our own estate in the southern part of Napa Valley. This cool climate vineyard allows us nearly perfect conditions year after year to produce world class Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah. Controlling all farming aspects within our own vineyard gives Cuvaison an advantage in producing the best quality fruit, therefore minimizing over manipulation at the winery. Winemaker Steven Rogstad, sums it up best, "My style and philosophy are based on expressing the unique character of our estate grapes and doing as little as possible to them. When one has such wonderful fruit to work with, that should be one's emphasis."

Aroma: Boysenberry, black cherry, licorice and laurel. Palate: Beam of bright, ripe boysenberry and blackberry fruit with notes of cinnamon and mocha. Overall Impression: A lush, full-throated Merlot with dense fruit backed by supple tannins and a bright finish.
