You might consider this wine a bit more approachable than the Agenda, but equally powerful and utterly pleasurable. This is a unique blend for California, but the Smith Family Vineyards Merlot brings in a supple softness to the mid-palate that really extends this wine's life with every sip. The wine spends 12 months in 35% new French oak, lending a spicy, toastiness to compliment smoke and savory herbs.
Byron Blatty Wines is a love letter to Los Angeles County, both new and old, where vines used to line the banks of the LA River in the late 1800s. Prohibition and vine disease wiped out most of those plantings but thanks to producers like Byron Blatty Wines that others who champion the region, small family-owned vineyards are making a comeback. Byron Blatty focuses on limited-edition, handcrafted red wines that feature sustainably farmed, family-owned vineyards in Los Angeles County.
