Truchard Vineyard Merlot 2021 750 ML

2021 was yet another challenging year in the vineyards. After a second record dry winter in a row, bud break came early. In spring, the drought stricken vines struggled to grow and set a very light crop consisting of small clusters and berries. Yields were down nearly 50 percent! Moderate conditions throughout summer allowed this fruit to easily ripen. As expected, the wines of 2021 are intense, austere, and concentrated.
