This vineyard was named for three important men in Merry Edwards’ life: Warren Dutton, who first leased Merry this hilltop vineyard in 2009; Warren Arnold, a well-known sculptor and longtime friend; and Merry’s son Warren, who passed away in 2006. These grapes now hail from 12-year-old vines off the Windsor Garden clone and aged for nine months in 53% new French oak. It’s an inky-purple-black hued beauty with aromas of forest floor kissed by ripe cherry. Deep and luscious, with German chocolate cake with extended note of ripe cherry, and grilled meat. It possesses an earthy nature that rises on mid-palate, with lavender accenting its velvet-lined tannins.
