Our very best wines are bottled as Platinum. It’s our reminder that the choices we make have to add up to one better than gold. Made from clones 181 and 346, the Platinum Merlot was cane-pruned and cropped to under 4 tons per acre. Hand-harvested at Desert Ridge, CedarCreek, Greata Ranch, Mauz and Van Western Vineyards, we aged the 2007 vintage 20 months in 100% French oak from Coopers Fouquet, Taransaud, Vicard and Dargaud & Jaegle. Without these details, our Merlot wouldn’t be Platinum. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.
