2007 Grgich Hills Napa Valley Merlot
One 750ml bottle
This is a Cabernet lover's Merlot! With wonderfully complex aromas of cherry, cedar, cocoa powder and a hint of tea leaves, this wine’s firm tannins and food-friendly acidity make it the perfect partner with a variety of hearty meals.
The '07 vintage was almost perfect for grapes with a long, dry growing season. Because precipitation was only 60 percent of normal, the grapes were smaller, reducing yield but providing concentrated flavors. All of Grgich’s vineyards are certified organic and Biodynamic®, a holistic farming practice that uses the earth’s cycles and natural preparations to grow balanced, healthy vines without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides. By blending wine from four distinctive growing regions within Napa Valley, Grgich crafted a complex, balanced Merlot.
