$55.00 per bottle
Description:
After 2 years of cold weather that resulted in picking grapes after Halloween until the middle of November, mother nature smiled upon us in 2000. After a normal amount of rainfall, a warm spring followed with bud break taking place in early April. A nearly flawless berry set took place in June. With a warm but not too hot summer, all signs pointed towards picking fruit in the early part of October.
During crush, the fruit was separated into 3 distinct lots based on location from the vineyard and fermentation regimes. The 2000 vintage also marked the first harvest from our new adjoining vineyard. Previously our Merlot production was based almost solely on what we had not needed for blending purposes into our Frazier Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2000 with an additional 3,350 vines of Merlot, we had the largest harvest of Merlot to date.
