2019 hope & grace Merlot

St. Helena | Napa Valley

We are proud to present the fifth release of our Napa Valley Merlot ... a beautifully expressive wine crafted from a single vineyard tucked along the northeastern edge of the renowned St. Helena appellation. Bathed in warm Napa Valley sunshine by day and cooled by evening breezes drifting through the valley, this exceptional site provides ideal conditions for cultivating Merlot with richness, balance, and remarkable depth of character.

The 2019 vintage reveals a wine of generous texture and quiet sophistication ... layered, polished, and deeply reflective of both site and season.

Winemaker Notes
Enticing aromas of black cherry, cassis, and a whisper of cedar rise from the glass, layered with delicate hints of violet, anise, and warm baking spice. On the palate, vibrant cherry and ripe plum unfold gracefully across fine-grained tannins, revealing subtle nuances of dark chocolate and toasted oak. Elegant yet expressive, the finish is long, supple, and beautifully structured. A refined reflection of the exceptional 2019 Napa Valley vintage.
