Description:
Greg Lewis’ Riverstone Vineyard, on the Mokelumne River, sits in a unique microclimate. Nestled between the Sierra Foothills and the river, the Riverstone Vineyard has a much longer growing season than much of the Lodi Appellation, giving us fruit with intense fruit, good acid and soft tannins. In addition to great Merlot, Greg also grows some amazing Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot. The 03 Riverstone contains 16% of the former and 5% of the latter; we blend these other varieties to add complexity and structure to the finished wine. Always an eminently drinkable wine, our 2003 Riverstone Merlot is unusually soft in the mouth for a wine so rich. The rich mouth-feel and soft tannins are accentuated by bright cherry, chocolate and mint flavors. It will be at its best over the next three to five years.
