WINEMAKER'S NOTES Silhouette is Merryvale’s limited production, top white wine and contains the best of the best Napa Valley and Carneros Chardonnay fruit. Our favorite lots are chosen for their concentration of flavor and elegance then blended and aged for 17 months in French Oak Burgundy barrels. All of the wine was fermented with native yeast, a method that accentuates the richness of the wine’s mouthfeel. Aromas of baked apple and pear tart, lemon curd, nutmeg, cardamom and vanilla bean are interwoven with mineral and toasted oak notes. The wine has a dense, complex and focused mouthfeel balanced by refreshing acidity. Silhouette will develop in the bottle for the next 5-10 years.
