Red and black fruits mingle in this wine making it a berry compote of a Merlot. Blackberry and raspberry flavors dominate and pair beautifully with notes of plum jam. Earthy accents of sage and roasted coffee beans add interest and complexity to the abundant fruit. The heavy duty tannins create a framework worthy of a hearty steak but have been tamed to a silky texture through aging in small French oak barrels.

The J & J Fay Merlot was cold-soaked for three days prior to a seven-day fermentation. At dryness the wine was drained directly off skins into French Oak to immediately begin the aging process. Completion of malolactic fermentation in oak produced a lovely texture on the palate and integrated the earth and herb flavors into the fruit at an early stage. 20 months of barrel age have softened the wine and make it delightfully drinkable upon release.

One of California’s oldest and most award-winning wineries, Geyser Peak was founded in 1880, a pioneer of the Alexander Valley in Sonoma County. Perched on a hillside across from Geyser Peak Mountain, this beautiful setting overlooks Geyserville, the Russian River and the northern end of Alexander Valley.
A long heritage of winemaking with a relatively recent resurgence, Geyser Peak Winery's roots in Sonoma County winemaking run deep. Founded by Augustus Quitzow, one of Sonoma County's pioneer winemakers, the original winery was built in Geyserville in 1882. Perched on a hillside across from Geyser Peak Mountain, the winery claimed a view of the clouds of thermal steam that billowed from the mountain's summit.
Today, Geyser Peak is one of the most award-winning wineries in Sonoma County. It consistently garners some of the most prestigious awards in winemaking, including Winery of the Year and Winemaker of the Year honors. Its outstanding team of winemakers and viticulturalists are noted for fruit-forward, food-friendly wines from prime vineyard sources in the Alexander Valley.
