2022 Right Bank Merlot

2022 Right Bank Merlot

The name Right Bank is a nod to both the Bordeaux blend style and our vineyard's location along the Napa River.

Our 2022 Merlot-dominant blend presents a deep garnet hue. The nose offers vibrant aromas of ripe black cherry and intense red fruit.

Flavors of pink peppercorn and dried oregano add depth, complemented by prominent acidity and well-integrated oak.

The palate is savory, plush, and inviting, with fine tannins building power on the finish. The character of the Cabernet Franc shines on the palate with notes of blueberry and black tea.

92 points — James Suckling

"This enjoyable, velvety wine offers violets and rose petals in the aroma, then lush blueberry, blackberry and dark chocolate flavors. The texture is soft, moderately tannic and mouth-filling. Drink now or hold."
