A perfect day at the Profile Vineyard!

Beautiful weather, delicious food, spectacular w**es, and even better company.

We loved spending the day with our members and friends, sharing good w**e, great conversation, and the beauty of the vineyard during this special time of year.

Thank you for joining us. Already looking forward to next year! 🍷

We are welcoming back the talented Dan Durkin for an evening of live music, with delicious lasagnas from our friends at Lasagna con Amore, fine w**e from you-know-who, and hopefully a beautiful sunset.

Add good friends to the mix, and you have a pretty perfect Friday evening.

See you tomorrow!

A toast to our dream harvest crew 🍇

From the vineyard, to the lab, to the cellar, this team brought incredible energy, dedication, and teamwork to every step of Harvest 2026.

We shared a special luncheon in our Cask Room to celebrate a great harvest and, most of all, the people who made it happen. So grateful for each and every one of them 🍷

A special recognition for our 2016 Profile from the W**e Spectator.

We are always pleased to see a vintage continue to reveal itself beautifully with time.

Who is ready for Fall 🍂

As the leaves begin to change color across the Napa Valley, the evenings grow cooler and call for a beautiful bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.

There is no better time to visit Merryvale and enjoy a tasting in our cozy and inviting tasting room 🍷

We hope to see you during this beautiful season!

While you were sleeping... the night harvest was happening at the Profile Vineyard. There is something special about seeing the vineyard come alive under the stars. The cool night air allows us to bring in the grapes at their freshest, preserving the character of the fruit from vineyard to w**ery.

And so harvest continues...

Thank you, Owen Bargreen for your thoughtful review and appreciation/recognition of our 2022 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay (93), 2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (93), and our 2021 Profile (97)!

Merryvale

Today we share one of the longstanding houses in Napa. Merryvale’s historic building was the first w**ery built in the Napa Valley after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 and has become a favorite destination for visitors to the valley. This is a beautiful w**e country setting, surrounded by French oak barrels and casks. I’ve enjoyed visiting this beautiful property many times and the surrounding serene vineyards. The property is owned by the Schlatter family. They have been making their ‘Profile’ red blend for many years and this years edition for my palate was the finest one yet!
They have produced a brilliant range of w**es and I adore the 2021 Merryvale ‘Profile’ Red W**e (OB, 97) which is a stunning w**e from this warm vintage. This one even eclipses the incredible ’19 bottling. Learn more at https://www.merryvale.com and here are the beautiful new w**es by Merryvale.

2022 Merryvale ‘Sonoma Coast’ Chardonnay- The 2022 ‘Sonoma Coast’ Chardonnay underwent full malolactic fermentation. It is better than first tasted. Loads of lemon zest and tropical fruits fill the palate with brioche and shades of cardamom. Gorgeous now enjoy over the next few years. Drink 2026-2033- 93

2023 Merryvale ‘Sonoma Coast’ Pinot Noir- The 2023 Merryvale ‘Sonoma Coast’ Pinot Noir offers red cherry compote and cola on the nose with shades of stony minerals. The palate is dense and delicious with a sensational texture and great sense of weight. Cran-cola and sandy soils comine with shades of red licorice on the palate. This is refined and delicious Pinot that will cellar well over the next decade. Drink 2026-2036- 93

2021 Merryvale ‘Profile’ Red W**e- The 2021 ‘Profile’ is an ebullient combination of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. This comes off exceedingly exotic on the nose with Asian spices and graphite that combine with sandalwood and shades of creme de violette. The heady aromatics bring you back to the glass for more enjoyment. The palate is powerful, concentrated and filled with stony minerals and underlying finesse. This is even better than the sinfully good 2019. Give this at least an hour in the decanter of savoring in its heady youth. Drink 2026-2050- 97
