The southerly aspect of the Kobau vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench allow the vines to bask in the early morning sun. On gravelly soils, wines from this vineyard are known for being mineral-driven, well structured, with a balanced ripeness and fresh acidity.

The 2017 vintage is our first release from this famed vineyard. This Merlot has a foundation of ripe red fruits and black cherry preserves, minerality and juicy tannins.
