While working with our Napa Valley growers, we came across small vineyard lots of Merlot that managed to escape being replanted to Cabernet Sauvignon. Inspired to preserve these prestigious Merlot lots and introduce our distinct style of Napa Valley Merlot, Thorn was created.

The final wine is a Merlot, blended with Syrah and Malbec. Aromas of savory spice, black cherry, and mocha with cedar and blackberry. The entry delivers an elegant balance with flavors of black plum and anise, along with hints of grilled rosemary and toasted oak. Velvety, chocolate tannins develop into a robust finish.
