Camp Merlot Sonoma County 2018

Camp wines are created by winemaker extraordinaire Kenny Likitprakong of Hobo Wine Co. in 2013 to highlight the quality and value of Sonoma County wine. Kenny works with top growers and vineyard managers to source responsibly farmed fruit from lesser known vineyards throughout Sonoma County. This allows them to produce delicious wines that also remain great values. The 2018 merlot is sourced from Mojon’s Bench Vineyard in Alexander Valley (68%) and Morrison Vineyard in Sonoma Valley (32%), both organically farmed. Aged in neutral oak, this is a straightforward, yet refined style of merlot, that makes a nod to Bordeaux in terms of finesse. Kenny strikes a great balance between fruit, herb, spice and acid/tannin structure. Perfect with a skirt steak with roasted mushroom and onion tamales. Organically grown.
