| Ooh La La! Now here
is a beauty of a wine that has truly captured the essence of the
vineyard and terroir. One of our favorite growers, Dick Boushey, and
winemaker, Marie-Eve Gilla, have worked really hard together to produce
the best possible fruit and ultimately, an incredible wine. We used 6
barrels of the most exquisite fruit from Boushey vineyard to produce our
very first vineyard designated Merlot. The nose is ripe with maraschino
cherries, eucalyptus, vanilla, lavender and spice. In the mouth,
experience rich, dense fruit of blackberries and chocolate covered
cherries laced with cinnamon. This wine is incredibly balanced from
start to finish. The finish is long and lush with no end in sight. For a
complete experience, our 2004 Merlot, Boushey Vineyard calls for beef,
so we suggest trying it with Beef Wellington or prime rib. It would be
equally enjoyable with Beef Stoganoff, just make sure you have enough
wine to last the meal! |

"The 2004 Merlot 'Boushey Vineyard' delivers a nose of pain grille,
tobacco, cassis, and black currants. Forward on the palate, it has a
plush texture, good depth, and spicy red and black fruits. With light
tannins and a long, pure finish, this tasty Merlot can be enjoyed now
through 2020." |
