Vintage Cowboy Merlot

Description

”VINEYARDS Vintage Cowboy Winery was inspired by our family heritage of cowboys, western lifestyle, and our love for ranching in San Luis Obispo County. We believe in cowboy values and keeping the western way of life alive. Vintage Cowboy is a family owned and operated winery. For five generations the Arnold family has lived and worked on the original ranch land in San Luis Obispo County, CA , raising beef cattle, horses, and farming a variety of crops. We planted our 32 acre vineyard in 1995. The vineyard sits beneath the Santa Lucia Mountain Range about 14 miles from the Pacific ocean where it benefits from the coastal influence coming through the mountain passes. Our terrior is roughly 10 miles from the Edna Valley AVA and about 35 miles Southeast of the Paso Robles AVA which creates an extreme temperature fluctuation during the growing season resulting in uniquely flavorful wines.GROWING SEASON The unusually cold spring temperatures combined with the pronounced coastal fog created a long growing season which allowed the fruit to develop a signature combination of fully developed red ripe fruit flavors and fine structure.WINEMAKERS NOTES Aromas of plum, blueberry and spiced clove fill the glass with this Merlot. The palate has complex notes of dried rose petals, ripe apple and baking spice that compliment the round soft tannin structure.”- Vintage Cowboy
