At the base of Duncan Peak in Hopland, we are blessed with a special microclimate that allows our Merlot grapes to ripen to perfection. This Merlot is a meticulously produced blend of fruit specially selected in small lots from our vineyard. The result is a truly-special wine reflecting one the best vintages of the decade. It really does live up to every letter in its "Reserve" moniker. Our grapes are grown in harmony with the nature around us and with as little impact on the land.

Made with estate-grown CCOF-certified organic grapes.
