Regional Information

In 2017, California had record rainfall of more than 35 inches in the N. Valley and more than 16 inches in the S. Valley. The rainfall filled lakes & reservoirs, recharged
ground water, and flushed salts through saturated soils. Early growth was strong, and the vines were happy & healthy. Early spring was fairly mild, but then record heat was experienced in N. Valley, recording the hottest summer in nearly 40 years.

Vinification Details

The grapes for Dark Horse Merlot were harvested at optimum ripeness, which allowed for easy extraction of rich colour and velvety tannins. The winemaker selected aromatic
yeast strains and employed a warm fermentation process, which has resulted in a wine with more flavour and fruitier aromatics. Proper storage after fermentation has helped
to build complexity on the palate and bring a nice balance to the wine
