Lot 432
2021 Moon Mountain Merlot

When you have fruit this good, you don’t mess with it. This winery takes pride in hand-crafted, low-intervention winemaking. Clusters are hand-picked at night and fermented with native yeasts. The fruit from each vineyard block is kept separate during fermentation to preserve terroir, then blended later for optimal regional expression. The juice is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months in a gentle 25% new wood regimen.
