As a result the 2006 Merlot harvest stretched from September 22nd to October 27th. Merlot is a varietal that does very well year after year on our gentle sloping vineyards. It is a key varietal in the Lake William blend, contributing deep amethyst hues and elegant flavors. A select portion of Merlot is bottled as a varietal wine which has become one of our most sought after wines. Before bottling, the 2006 vintage was aged 18 months in new French Nevers oak, allowing the wine to integrate its red berry flavor characteristics into a wine particularly food friendly. We recommend enjoying this wine now through 2013.
