The Merlot vines at Jack London Vineyards benefit from careful canopy management which encourages balanced ripening to deliver desired sugar level, flavor and skin color. The pleasantly warm climate of this hillside vineyard produces a rich, full-bodied wine with aromatic notes of red currents, tobacco and bay leaves. Flavors of vanilla and ripe plum give this wine an elegant and lingering finish.
