Our Wines / 2007 Praxis Merlot

The grapes for this wine come from a vineyard on a rise in the heart of Alexander Valley – the same vineyard that garnered our 2004 Merlot the title of Best American Merlot Under $20 in Food & Wine Magazine (October, 2007) and praise for our 2006 Merlot as “Merlot before it was mass produced…lip-smacking velvety, with a little complexity and guts.” Woodbury Magazine (Fall 2009)

The color is a deep red with purple highlights. The nose offers vanilla, black cherry and plum, with warm spices and dry herbs. The wine is sleek and elegant with good acidity and full mouthfeel. Flavors of strawberry, blackberry, pomegrante and cassis are complemented by vanilla and spice. The wine has a long finish with soft tannins and toasty oak
