Finished Wine Robles Is the Warmest AVA in California, Resulting in VARIETAL CONTENT Merlot Grapes with Intense Color and Flavor

2013 CENTRAL COAST MERLOT Nestled halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Edna Valley Vineyard is the jewel of California’s Central Coast. Just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, the Edna Valley AVA sees refreshing breezes and warm sunshine daily. We select grapes from this unique region and throughout the Central Coast AVA to create well- integrated, flavorful wines. Visit our iconic tasting room in the Edna Valley region for a taste of our balanced, food-friendly wines. THE TASTE: Our Edna Valley Vineyard Merlot opens with aromas of cocoa powder, anise and black cherry, complemented by hints of leather and humidor. Fine tannins and a bright acidity create a rich, balanced mouthfeel. NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER: In 2013, a majority of the grapes for our Edna Valley Vineyard Merlot were selected from the Paso Robles AVA within the larger Central Coast appellation. Paso Finished Wine Robles is the warmest AVA in California, resulting in VARIETAL CONTENT Merlot grapes with intense color and flavor. The 2013 94% Merlot, 3% Syrah, 2% growing season was a great one for Paso Robles, Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% with warm, dry conditions throughout the vintage. Grenache VARIETAL ORIGIN The grapes for our Merlot were harvested in the early Central Coast morning and destemmed before a three-day cold ALCOHOL LEVEL soak.

2017 Wine Awards
2017 Wine Awards ©2017 by The Orange County Wine Society ocws.org 714.708.1636 Page 1 of 173 Purpose This booklet lists the winners of the 41st Annual OC Fair & Event Center Commercial Wine Competition. The judging took place under rigidly controlled conditions on June 3rd & June 4th, 2017, at the Hilton Hotel, Costa Mesa, California. 2,457 different wines were judged and 1,726 were awarded medals. Scope The competition includes only wines from California grown grapes including still wines, fortified wines, infused wines, and sparkling wines. This year 80 judges tasted 104 varieties and styles in 405 categories classified by price and residual sugar level. The wine samples for judging are submitted by wineries. Wines arrive at the OC Fair & Event Center grounds where they are transferred to an air-conditioned building for unpacking and cataloging. There are no entry fees; however, wineries submit 6 bottles of each wine into the competition. These wines are divided into A, B, C, D, E and F bottles. All entries are verified, comparing the entry form to computer listing to the actual bottle placed in a specific box. The A bottles are bagged and labeled by code, varietal, bottle, price code and sugar level. During the competition, the A and B bottles are moved to the competition site. Just prior to judging all A bottles are verified to ensure they are in the proper serving order. B bottles are used only if a defective A bottle is found by the judges. The judging is performed by professionals; each judge is either a winemaker or winery principal.
