6	Amuse Bouche (Napa, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines) 2007 Merlot View Label Appellation: Napa Valley Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Winemaker: Heidi Peterson Barrett The 2007 harvest was characterized by its split personality. After a moderate summer, a burst of heat in early September led a number of wineries to pick earlier than usual. However, the harvest stalled due to a dramatic cooling off period in mid September. When it resumed later in the month, our vineyards clearly had benefited from the extended hang time. The later harvest allowed an optimal ripening period for our Merlot and Cabernet Franc blocks, which we picked just before heavy rainfall str... ...read more Question?
