Hanaiali’I Merlot comes from Davidson Ranch in St. Helena (Northern Napa Valley), where you’ll find celebrated cabernet vineyards and some of Napa Valley’s most celebrated wineries. Only blocks from the home of vintner Ian Devereux, this celebrated vineyard presents ideal conditions for bold and spicy Merlot. And the meticulous, sustainable farming techniques and obsessive winemaking have led us to the 4th vintage of this 7-time gold medal winning, 2-time best in class, 90+ point scoring Merlot with a touch of Napa Valley Cabernet Franc blended in.
This is the first release of this vintage and you will be the first offering, ever, in the world, for this celebrated sell-out wine!
2015 Hanaiali'i Merlot, Napa Valley
A bold “Cabernet drinker’s” Merlot, Hanaiali’i has spicy aromas and rich flavors of plum, cranberry, raspberry, chocolate, and soft vanilla. A wine that always impresses the most experienced oenophile but also suits the palate of the casual wine drinker, this complex and brooding treat can be enjoyed now or cellared. It pairs with savory meat dishes as well as seafood, Mediterranean and island cuisine.
