A fresh youthful expression of Merlot. Naturally dry, with notes of dark cherry and soft red fruit, carried by a smooth, approachable structure with gentle natural tannins.
If the 2024 Merlot can be compared with very dark chocolate—deeper, firmer, and more contemplative—this 2025 Merlot is more akin to milk chocolate: softer, rounder, and immediately approachable in character.
Smooth and balanced, with a clean, rounded finish. The wine opens quickly in the glass, offering clarity and ease from the first pour. No oak, no flavoring and nothing hidden. Only pure fruit, nature and time.
Fruit sourced from the mountainous Monticello region of Virginia. Naturally fermented for 9 days on the skins, then only the free-run juice is collected - never pressed - to preserve the purity of the juice without adding harshness.
Aged and bottled exclusively in pure clear glass to maintain purity and taste. No filtration, no chemicals, and no manipulation.
No additives: yeast or sulfites![]()
Federal lab testing confirms: No quantifiable sulfites detected
A natural expression of Merlot, grounded, expressive, and complete.
