Winemakers Notes
Ballard Canyon Merlot Blend
Sourced from Santa Barbara County’s Ballard Canyon, this Bordeaux-style blend—led by Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—shows a deep, inky garnet hue. Rich and layered, it offers aromas and flavors of cacao, scorched earth, espresso bean, dried fig, dark chocolate, and oak. The palate is powerful and textured, with a chalky backbone and plush, integrated tannins that carry through a lingering finish.
