Merlot 


AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO MEMBERS


It’s not difficult to imagine even the most devoted Cabernet Sauvignon fan being swayed by our powerful, full-bodied Merlot. Ripe and silky, this bottling underscores Moon Mountain Vineyard’s potential for wines of immense concentration and depth – the culmination of more than two decades of meticulous organic farming on these ancient hillsides. A sun-drenched west-facing slope is the touchstone for explosive flavors, while cool evening breezes maintain balanced acidity.
