2006 Carneros Merlot  - Silver Medals!

The grapes for this remarkably well-balanced Merlot hail from the Moon vineyards in Carneros, where the heat is just right for this deeply structured Merlot.  This is the Merlot for folks who think that they don't like Merlot. 

Now a double Silver medal winner (California State Fair and the Santa Cruz County Fair).

Grape grower Jim Moon has been growing grapes (under Helen Turley's guidance) since the 80s.
