About the Wine:
While working with our growers in the Napa Valley, we came across small, premium vineyard lots of Merlot, which served as our inspiration to create Thorn. The sources of Merlot were blended with Syrah to create depth in the body while Malbec accentuates the fruit.
Winemaker Notes:
Deep purple in color, releasing aromas of black cherry with hints of cedar and pencil lead. Dense flavors of dark fruits and rich plum are framed by velvety tannins and a lush finish.
The Blend:
78% Merlot
22% Syrah & Malbec
The Vineyards:
Merlot: Hudson, Stagecoach, Antica
Syrah: Hudson
Malbec: Trefethen
Aging: 30% new oak, combination of French and American
