2018 Merlot

DG Cellars Estate Reserve Collection

DG CELLARS is the estate reserve collection composed of exceptional wines featured only at Speckle Rock Vineyards. DG stands for father-son duo Duane and Gregory Perrin who created the vineyards after the 2007 California wildfires struck. DG also signifies the decomposed granite that makes up our terroir. Lastly, some may say that DG simply stands for damn good wine.

After being featured in many blends, we are pleased (and very proud) to introduce our first ever single varietal Merlot. This wine has been aged for 24 months in French oak and expresses notes of dry oak, caramel, dark cherry, vanilla, anise, and forest floor. A beautifully smooth wine, it pairs exquisitely with prosciutto, sharp cheese, pulled pork BBQ, and portobello mushroom burgers.
