Ravenswood's Sangiacomo Vineyard Merlot comes from the old Kiser Ranch block in the Carneros portion of Sonoma Valley.

The Sangiacomo Merlot is fermented with its native yeast and allowed to reach temperatures of about 85°F. The juice stays in contact with skins for 18-24 days to develop as much flavor intensity as possible and is aged in French oak for about 16 months and bottled with a minimum of cellar treatment.

The wine has delicious, sweet, black cherry and pomegranate scents mingling with odors of smoke, dried fine herbs and allspice. It is rich on the palate with generous flavor and great structure from mature fruit and soft tannins.
