Merlot 2010

a Merlot from Dry Creek ValleyCA
$32 per bottle

Rick Moshin planted and began farming this one-acre lot of Merlot in 1999 - selecting a premium Bordeaux clone (190) to cultivate. This vineyard continues to produce beautiful and bountiful fruit. This year we’ve added 2 % Cabernet Sauvignon to enhance this wonderful Bordeaux varietal. A cool vintage, this Merlot shows all the classic Bordeaux characteristics expected. Grassy and herbal aromas, black olive tapenade and sappy plum, cherry pit and fennel. Faint hints of rosemary, wood and tamarind. Big, round, filling mouthfeel- while still balanced with fine tannin and rich finish. Drink now t

Winery Picture

Moshin Vineyards

Moshin Vineyards and Winery began in 1989 as the dream of Rick Moshin, a San Jose State University math instructor – and with the Moshin Family’s purchase of a ten-acre Pinot Noir Vineyard located in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, California. The Moshin Vineyards of today features a unique 4-tier Gravity Flow Winery and control of 28 acres of grapes – mostly Pinot Noir. The tasting room is open daily to the public and tours of the winery can be made by appointment.

 
The goal at Moshin Vineyards is to carefully guide the grapes through the winemaking process and bring you a wine that expresses a truthful view into the heart of the vine. Our farming methods are sustainable, winemaking philosophy is “minimally invasive,” and we have established energy-saving practices through the use of gravity-flow and solar energy.
 
We specialize in small lot, hand-crafted wines, which include Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel. Wine Club members enjoy our most exclusive lots, making membership a fun and special way to experience the artistry and dedication of our winemaking team.
 
The Moshin Family and our knowledgeable and friendly staff invite you to join us for a taste of wine country! Explore our website to discover more about our winery, Events, Photos, and fun things to do in the beautiful wine country of the Russian River Valley!
