2007 Carneros Merlot - Silver Medal Winner

• Now a silver medal winner at the 2009 Santa Cruz County Fair.

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.

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