description: Carneros is a cool-climate source of Merlot, but the harvest was hot in 2002, and this is an exceedingly ripe wine. The blackberry and cherry flavors are tinged with the taste of raisins. There are also some hefty tannins in this dry, somewhat astringent wine.
variety: Merlot
designation: Beckstoffer Vineyard Las Amigas Vineyard
