Platform 9
Platform 9 produces Merlot in California, where the variety thrives in diverse microclimates across the state's wine regions. Merlot, with its plush tannins and dark fruit character, finds particular expression in California's warmer valleys and coastal areas. The winery's Merlot has been evaluated by Wine Enthusiast. California's long growing season and varied terroirs allow Merlot to develop the ripeness and structure that define the state's interpretation of the variety—softer and rounder than its Bordeaux counterparts, yet capable of aging gracefully.
