Jim Olsen and Tom Shula Pickberry Merlot 2013
About the wine
High-class Merlot from a famous vineyard that made $50 Ravenswood wine
- Seriously high-class Merlot, from the same top quality vineyard that made Ravenswood's $50 Pickberry Merlot blend for over a decade. Truly luxurious red.
- Complex, dark red wine with layers of ripe plummy flavors and spices – 100% pure Merlot with real sophistication. You get a lot of bang for your buck with these old, late-ripening vines with a low yield and a high elevation.
- Tom and Jim were both chomping at the bit to work with this famous vineyard and Angel funding allowed them to do just that.
