Southern Napa Valley, like its neighbor, Carneros, is open to the cooling influence of San Pablo Bay, so grapes grown here ripen slowly, developing a greater concentration of flavors. Here, our Vista Montone Vineyard is home to a special block that faces the rising sun, aptly named Day Break. The vineyard’s cool microclimate and chalky soil is ideal for producing deep, complex Merlot. Our Day Break Block Merlot yields dark ruby red hues, lush plum, cassis, spice and blackberry aromas, and a balanced structure with a long finish.
