2018 | Taub Family Vineyards | Merlot

This is a dry-farmed vineyard which means crop is lower yielding, smaller clusters which results in more complexity and weight. Characteristic Merlot flavors of blueberry compote, plum, and cherry mingle with well-integrated toasty oak, cedar, and cigar box flavors over a long, balanced finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Raspberry and red-cherry aromas meet darker plum and black-cherry flavors in this full-bodied, smooth and moderately tannic wine. It shows good balance and should drink best through 2030.

Producer Information

Taub Family Vineyards was born out of a dream four generations in the making. It’s a story that began during a pivotal time in U.S. wine history, just days after Prohibition was repealed, and one that is far from completion. The latest chapter is now unfolding as Proprietor Marc D. Taub and his son Jake explore some of California’s most exciting appellations. Wine has always been the centerpiece of the family’s narrative and livelihood and Marc D. Taub grew up with a deep appreciation for the art of winemaking. His grandfather Marty played an instrumental role in the wine business from the early 1930s, and Marc’s father David later joined Marty’s side to build upon his dream. Marc always knew he would follow in their footsteps. This came to fruition in 2013, when Marc acquired Napa Valley producer Heritance – which later evolved to Taub Family Vineyards. The winery represents some of the best sites in Napa Valley. Each wine embodies a pure expression of its respective AVA and vineyard microsite and are crafted for elegance and extraordinary balance. The valley oak pictured on the label, a familiar part of any Napa Valley landscape, honors the family’s provenance, while the diamond at the base of the tree represents the seed planted for the legacy of generations to come.
