Grayson Cellars Merlot Lot 6 2022

Alcohol: 13.5%

Grape(s): Merlot

Localization: Napa Valley, California, USA

Tasting Notes: Grayson Merlot is sumptuous and rich with a beautiful purple garnet color. The aromas show the rich complexity of black cherry preserves, currant, and white chocolate. This magnificently decadent Merlot finishes with soft tannins, dark fruits, and elaborate oak.

The Domain: The founders of Grayson believe that we can put to work our Napa Valley winemaking skills to create some of the highest quality wines at the by-the-glass price point. We believe that decades of Napa winemaking experience will allow us to create a better bottle of wine at a better price point than what’s generally in the market today.

Our wines are carefully crafted by Larry Levin, among the most experienced winemakers in Napa Valley. After completing his Enology degree at UC Davis, Larry spent seventeen years at Dry Creek Vineyard, where over 18 vintages he produced more than 15 varietal wines. He has since covered the globe by making wine in New Zealand, Chile, and Australia across all price points and styles. For the previous nine years, Larry was head of winemaking at Icon Estates, where he oversaw the Franciscan, Mt. Veeder, Robert Mondavi, Estancia, Ravenswood, Quintessa and Ruffino brands. Larry also consults for wineries in the Stag’s Leap and Oakville districts in Napa and Sonoma.
