The Merriam Estate is located on Los Amigos Road, just south of Healdsburg in the Russian River Valley appellation. The 12-acre estate is certified by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). Growing conditions include cool morning fog, hot sunny days and low overnight temperatures. The diverse ecosystem surrounding the vines features constructed wetlands and a water reclamation pond functioning as a filtration and storage system for the property’s irrigation. Planted in 2009, our south facing property is made up of single vineyards including Danielle’s Vineyard (Sauvignon Blanc), Diana’s Vineyard (Pinot Noir) and Evanthea’s Vineyard (Chardonnay).

Lush aromas of rose petal, raspberry and pomegranate are married with notes of red berries. On the nose these notes translate seamlessly onto the palate showcasing blackberry, oak, and notes of clove on the finish.
