Winemaker Notes

The 2019 growing season produced a standout expression of Rector Creek Merlot with perfumed aromas of blueberry, black cherry and plum. On the palate, this wine is lush and giving with supple tannins, an elegant structure and generous red and black fruit flavors that carry it to a long, complex finish.

Production

2019 brought another exceptional vintage to Napa Valley, resulting in wines with alluring polish and poise! The season began with a wet winter followed by a mild spring. While this led to a slightly later-than-normal start to the season, ideal summer weather with no significant heat spikes ensured ideal flavor development, yielding complex and vibrant whites, and refined reds with elegant tannins, enticing aromatics and beautiful fruit flavors.
