Darcie Kent Merlot, Livermore Valley

Darcie Kent Merlot, Livermore Valley Wine Details
Price: $26.00 per bottle

Description: Our wine making is gentle from start to finish, preserving as much of the pure fruit qualities as possible. We aged our 2003 Merlot in 100% small French oak barrels for 20 months to give it a rich aroma of vanilla and chocolate. We use a combination of Vicard barrels with medium to heavy toast for lots of chocolate aromas, Francois Frere barrels for vanilla, violet and berry flavors, and Vernod Allier barrels for a great mouth filling, velvet texture. 150 cases were crafted.
