Bennett Valley’s coastal influence makes it an ideal place to grow Right Bank Style Merlot. The cool nights and warm heat during the day complement this Merlot which is planted on Clone 181, informally called Petrus Clone. With an ample variety of soils and different rootstocks, the Bennett Valley Merlot produces berries with blue fruit nuances, inky color and texture with age-worthy acidity.
