Clos du Bois Merlot

Clos du Bois Winery farms almost 800 acres in the vibrantly diverse wine regions of Sonoma County and Coastal California. Working with a family of trusted growers from some of the best vineyards, each vintage is crafted to achieve balance, intensity, and true varietal character. This Clos du Bois Merlot Sonoma Reserve Alexander Valley has aromas of plum, blackberry and mocha, with subtle toasted oak. This red wine is round and full-bodied with silky tannin and great concentrations of blackberry, espresso and mocha flavors. (www.closdubois.com)

Broken Earth, as a brand, was born from the heritage of the iconic vineyard, Rancho Tierra Rejada.  This was a land of vaqueros, cattle barons, and true viticultural pioneers.  We continue to keep that spirit alive in every bottle of our wine.  Fully opaque, but filled with violets and deep ruby reds, this 2019 Merlot ferments at 27.0 Brix on skins for 19 days at 64°F. Maturation followed in French and American Hybrid oak barriques for 5 months.  The gorgeous color is only a precursor to the delectable smell; hints of coffee and toffee, bitter dark chocolate and spices of nutmeg and vanilla, ending with an aftertaste of black licorice.  The mouthfeel is richly textured and tannic, which salivates the mouth.
