Russian River Merlot 2014

a Merlot from Russian River ValleyCA
$38 per bottle

Our winemaker says "Over the past few months or so, this Merlot has become one of our House regulars, because it’s so darn good to just drink, while you are snacking away, thinking about what’s for dinner, just as a backdrop while preparing that dinner, and voila it’s time for dinner and what happened. This has a dash of Rockpile Petite Verdot to give it some more structure and some blue fruit notes. It was a bit of a trial of ours to just age this wine in 400L neutral French oak casks for 10 months, I feel it has given this wine echo’s of simpler, honest wines from our past."

Winery Picture

Paradise Ridge Winery

About Paradise Ridge Winery - In 1961 when Walter Byck married Marijke Hoenselaars in Holland, little did the newlyweds know what their future would hold. Yet their courage and passion would lead them to discover and build a wine estate in the heart of the world’s finest grape-growing region, the Russian River Valley.


Walter and Marijke moved to Santa Rosa in 1965, with two of their five children already in tow. They soon realized they had found a haven to raise their growing family. In 1978, after more than a year of searching for family property, Walter came home and said, “Marijke, children, I have seen Paradise!” Thereafter, the 155 acres overlooking the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, California became known as Paradise Ranch.
