Jackson Park Vineyard Merlot

The 2018 growing season set the stage for a thoughtfully layered Merlot, shaped by a long, cool ripening period and careful vineyard decisions. Jackson Park Vineyard shows how a Right Bank inspired Merlot thrives in Bennett Valley, where warm days and cool nights allow the fruit to develop depth while retaining natural freshness. Planted to the renowned Petrus clone, these mature vines produce wines marked by dark fruit tones, richness, and quiet tension. Time in French oak builds texture and harmony, resulting in a Merlot that feels composed and generous, with a sense of balance that carries effortlessly from start to finish.
