Michael's Vineyard, Carmel Valley. Bursting with an intensity, depth and elegance very seldom seen in a pure merlot. Produced from a clone brought from Pomerol in the early 1990's, it will exceed your greatest expectations. Two and a half years in the finest tight grained French oak provides just the right amount of barrell tannins. Best 2006 -- 2012. Only 23 cases produced.
