Simi Merlot Sonoma Red

WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Simi Winery Merlot expresses the perfect combination of our vine-specific vineyard care and the meticulous attention paid to the details in the vineyard. The lavish attention each vine receives allows Simi’s winemaking staff to practice winemaking with very minimal manipulation, resulting in wines that are true expressions of the diversity of Sonoma County.

Sonoma County’s cool mornings and warm afternoons combined with unique characteristics of soil, slope and sunshine make Simi Winery Merlot elegant and balanced with pleasing hints of clove, cocoa and violets.
