Lively blackberry and boysenberry flavors and a
hint of allspice. Finishes with strong thrust and spicy persistence,

Emulates the successful sourcing philosophy introduced with
Meiomi: blending the top Pinot Noir regions together for a richer,
more complex style than what you could achieve by sourcing from

94PTS ROBERT PARKER
Medium-bodied with grainy tannins. It is
extremely well-balanced, with a broody, introverted, somehow enigmatic
finish that you just want to keep sipping in order to unlock its secrets.

93PTS ANTONIO GALLONI
Expressive floral and spice notes open up
first in the 2014 Merlot. Fresh, nuanced and energetic in the style of the
year, the 2014 is a highly representative wine for the vintage.
