A late spring and moderately warm summer preserved the bright cherry and plum aromas and the warm fall allowed for very long hang-time for the 2020 Merlot grapes. This blend was created from 4 principal blocks of Merlot: our own Hidden Valley Vineyard, a bowl-shaped valley behind the winery on Naramata Road; Gjoa's Vineyard, just across the street; Dickinson Vineyard, about halfway to Naramata and below the road, and Occhi Dolci Vineyard to the South, perched above the lake below Munson Mountain.
