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 delicious aromas of plum and fig combine with delicate hints of sage and pipe tobacco. A full bodied wine with structured tannins and an excellent finish.
