The grapes come from the Paso Robles, Sonoma and Monterey regions. The vineyards were selected, on the one hand, for their microclimates (hills protect them from the Pacific currents), and on the other, for their clay-gravelly and sandy soils that ensure good drainage. In the north, thanks to volcanic soils, the grapes are endowed with a great aromatic richness. The result is a blend of Merlots with an assertive personality.
Aging for 12 months in French oak barrels.
