French in style, perfect fruit and burgeoning complexity.
Wonderful with pot roast and as good as CA can do with this grape.
Best, Jim
 
i am with you here jim. i had all but forgotten about merlot until i tasted this wine with david jeffries. he's doing good things with his bordeaux blends.

the "friends of calluna" is nice way buy a a handful of bottles each year and have them shipped. nice guy too.
 
Bill,
I may have mentioned this, but I was there when the fruit was brought in for this wine. It was (and still is) the most perfect fruit I have ever seen.
David had only to stand aside and let it become all it could. And, to his credit, he did.
Best, Jim
 
i remember my first visit to the facility where you, david and (i think) the grey stack guy makes wine. thats when i tasted daves merlot.

just as memorable was watching you guys throw a frisbee around in front all the barrels while cream blared over the speakers. fun times.

Spoken like a true parent, in Santa Vino, where all the grapes are good looking...and above average!

Wasn't aware they made a merlot, still trying to find there cabernet around here...
 
Mark,
Good call; I do feel a bit proprietary, even if I have no stake in the winery.
But honestly, you should try the wine . . .
Best, Jim
