WINEMAKING COMMENTS:
2010 was a good year for making Merlot, and of that parcel of
Merlot, we extracted a small parcel of intense Merlot pressings
that we kept separate for aging and developing, it was so good we
decided to bottle it as a single winemaking style.

Enjoy with oven roasted duck and sautéed mushrooms.

Once in a while our Winemakers find specific parcels of superior fruit that is unique to the region’s terroir. In 2007 Adam Chapman, Sirromet’s Chief Winemaker, found such a parcel at Sirromet’s Saint Jude’s vineyard (Block 5) due to a perfect vineyard micro climate. As a result, Sirromet’s most premium wine, Saint Jude’s, was created.
