Our Tower 15, 2018 Merlot  features a deep garnet color with classic smooth tannins and rich fruit flavors. The grapes for this limited-quanitity vintage are sourced from Giffs Vineyard in Santa Ynez Valley, where beautiful Merlot vines were planted in 1978 and have been organically farmed ever since. This wine was aged in 20% new French oak barrels and 80% neutral French oak barrels. The majority of our Merlot was added to our 'Swell' blend, leaving only a limited amount for this single varietal bottling.
