Lago Di Merlo Vineyards & Winery2044 visitors
| At Lago di Merlo Vineyards & Winery, each of our wines has its own distinct means of expressing the terroir (soil, topography and microclimate) from which it was born. The style of our wine derives from this marriage of ground and climate producing bold and gallant red wines from Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Appellation hillsides. Our commitment to the natural composition of our wines is evident in its character and bouquet while its structure and complexity are delicately enhanced with traditional methods of blending. The art and philosophy of Lago di Merlo is unmistakable in the unique expressions of our Dry Creek Valley reds. The Sonoma region is similar to parts of Northern Italy in soil structure and climate, providing ideal growing conditions. Our family is dedicated to crafting superior wines with qualities and characteristics unique to our region; excellent wine is grown, not made. | Geyserville, CA

2001 Cabernet Sauvignon
Dry Creek Valley
This is a wonderfully extracted wine following the recognized Dry Creek Valley Character well. Soft tannins are supported by fruit tones of blackberry and cherry. The oak is well i ... morentegrated, but not the front runner here.

Lager tannin profile wine with deep color and layers of flavor leaves a dusty mouth feel giving this Merlot panache.

Wonderfully balanced red. Nice acid component dissolves away to bing cherry flavors. Great wine paired with "sugo a pomadori" (red tomato sauce) dishes.

Pinot Grigio

2006 Ca'Bella Pinot Grigio
Williamette Valley, Oregon
Ca’Bella Pinot Grigio is a sophisticated and beautifully crafted wine with subtle tropical fruit and citrus aromas. The absence of oak allows trace mineral and floral elements to ... more perfectly balance the fruit, following with a smooth, rich finish. These characteristics reflect the traditional Northern Italian Pinot Grigio replicated in the Vineyard on the Merlo Estate in the lush Northern Willamette Valley of Oregon.

“Tropical” is the word that comes to mind with this wine. Strong pineapple and guava character perfume out of the glass, as supple melon and ruby grapefruit dance on your palat ... moree. All of the best characters of Sauvignon Blanc are present in this wine.
