Deux Punx Merlot 2019 is 100% Merlot sourced from the Tejada family's organically farmed vineyard in Lake County, California. Lake County sits north of Napa in the North Coast AVA, with vineyards planted between 1,300 and 3,000 feet above sea level on volcanic and alluvial soils shaped by Mount Konocti. The county's high elevation delivers significant diurnal temperature swings, which preserve acidity and keep the fruit from going soft.
Winemakers Dan Schaaf and Aaron Olson use the same approach across their entire lineup: native yeast fermentation, aging in neutral oak, minimal sulfur dioxide additions, and bottling without fining or filtration. For the 2019 Merlot, the wine spent a few months in neutral barrels before going to bottle, keeping the fruit fresh and the texture supple rather than heavy.
The result is a Merlot that leans into the variety's red-fruit and earthy character rather than its tendency toward plummy softness. Expect dark cherry, a savory herbal edge, and a clean finish with light structure. This is a drink-now wine built for the table, not the cellar.
