Merlot, Rhinefarm Vineyard, Sonoma Valley

Grown, produced & bottled on Rhinefarm Vineyard established in 1858. For six generations and over 145 consecutive harvests, my family has farmed our estate at the southern tip of the Sonoma Valley. This uniquely diverse site, christened Rhinefarm by my great grandfather's grandfather, borders the Carneros district to the south and Napa Valley to the east. Our vineyard ranges from the clay & gravel soils of the valley floor to the rocky, southwest facing slopes of the Mayacamas mountains.
