Handpicked fruit for this Merlot came from mountain,
hillside, benchland and valley floor vineyard sites from Sonoma County’s
Alexander Valley to the Carneros regions. Careful site selection ensures that
only the best-suited and finest quality fruit are captured in every bottle of
Benziger Sonoma County Merlot.
Grapes from select
vineyards in both Sonoma and Lake Counties are blended. Grapes from Sonoma are harvested later and
are more aromatic in character, exhibiting enhanced fruit flavors. Fruit from
warmer Lake County is harvested earlier in the season and provides an acidic
backbone for this wine.
