San Simeon Merlot blends grapes from two estate vineyards in Paso Robles, including Maddalena and Riboli Creston. With warm daytime temperatures and cool evenings, the climate in both vineyards is excellent for nurturing mature Merlot vines. A cool season gave grapes ample time on the vine to develop color, flavor, acid and tannin. The wine is bright red in color, with a shiny hue and pleasant aromas of red fruits, blueberries and cassis. With nice acidity and a touch of spice, this is a well-integrated Merlot that finishes with soft, round tannins. Our Paso Robles and Monterey vineyards are certified sustainable by CSWA.
After harvesting the grapes for this Merlot on two separate dates, we fermented the fruit in stainless steel tanks and transferred the lots to small French and American oak barrels for 10 months of aging. The wine is bright red in color, with a shiny hue and pleasant aromas of red fruits, blueberries, and cassis. Similar fruit on the soft mid-palate mingles with notes of fresh earth, forest floor, and sweet violet. With nice acidity and a touch of spice, this is a well-integrated Merlot that finishes with soft, round tannins.
