The Story

We harvested the 2022 Merlot Block 500 grapes on September 17th. The average sugar
at harvestwas 25.5 Brix-ideal for making high quality, ageworthywines. Post pressing
thewinewasracked twice and pumped into barrels. The majority of thewine forthe
final La Storia blend came from Block 500with few barrels added from block 510. Our
La Storia Merlot is and has been consistently fine example of the ability of this classic
Bordeaux variety to make solid, tasty and ageworthywines. The main aromas and
flavors are of dark cherry, plums, a bit of black licorice and herbs. The new oak barrels
contribute a touch of vanilla, brown sugar, cocoa dust, and toast. On the mouth the
wine issoft and viscous, balancing the acidity and the tanninswell forsuch a young
wine. The finish islong and softwith suggestion ofsweetness backed by ripe tannins.
Thiswinewill agewell andwillreward your patience ifstoredwell in the next 4-7 years.
