2021 Mernet Reserve, Spring Mtn. District
Vineyard Notes
2021 is our 23rd consecutive vintage of "Mernet" (mare-nay) our proprietary marriage of Merlot and Cabernet. This year the blend is 50% Merlot, all coming from our “Mailbox Vineyard”, and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 7 from our “Big K” vineyard. The resulting wine is a seamless blend with an emphasis on high-toned sweet delicious rich fruit with an almost hidden depth and structure. Enjoy now or decades from now.

" This 50-50 blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon is quite structured, deep and dark in flavor. Firm tannins surround surprisingly generous, expansive red and black cherry, blackcurrant and dark chocolate flavors. Its good concentration and balanced tannins bode well for further aging. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.” Jim Gordon, Executive Editor
