Located in the foothills of Sonoma Valley, the Caton Vineyard is defined by its sustainable farming and belief that healthier vineyards produce very unique and distinctive wines. The vineyards have multiple angles of sun exposure, soil types, and vary in altitude over 300 feet between each other. Our meticulous farming practices showcase the love for our land and our passion for the wines that come from it.

2019 was a classic Northern California vintage with a nearly ideal growing season in Sonoma Valley. The late rainfall and a gradual temperature rise into September led to longer hang times and even fruit development. This harvest offers concentrated flavors and well-balanced fruit that will steadily mature and stand the test of time.

This elegant Merlot greets the nose with rich aromas of ripe cherry and violets, followed by a lush mouthfeel with layers of blackberry, currant, and a touch of chocolate. These flavors combine with soft and supple tannins to create a long, silky smooth finish.
