This 2022 Arcilla Merlot showcases the rich concentration that came from a warm, late-summer harvest. Named after the Arcilla clay soils that shape our Tai Vineyard, this wine is a tribute to the unique terrain that helps the vines thrive. Inviting aromas of black cherry, grenadine, and cocoa spice unfold on the nose. The shimmering palate offers a balance of boysenberry, cherry, and hints of tobacco and sassafras, creating a distinctly layered wine.
