The Winery
Alpha Omega
Established in 2006 in the Napa Valley’s Rutherford AVA, Alpha Omega produces a range of wines that blend the Old World winemaking with the New World techniques. Alpha Omega is very universal utilizing grapes from renowned Napa Valley vineyards like Beckstoffer's To Kalon and Missouri Hopper in Oakville, Dr. Crane and Las Piedras in St. Helena, Georges III in Rutherford, Stagecoach in Atlas Peak, and Sunshine Valley in Oak Knoll District. No matter if it’s reds or whites, Alpha Omega takes advantage of the complexity and depth the Napa Valley has to offer.
Summary
The Alpha Omega Merlot 2018, hailing from Napa Valley, showcases a harmonious blend of Old World craftsmanship and the bold character of California wines. This vintage, marked by a long and even growing season, reveals an enticing profile of rich black cherry and plum, complemented by floral notes of violet and hints of cocoa and baking spices. The wine is structured with silky tannins and a mineral touch, contributing to its layered complexity. Aged in French oak, it balances fruitiness with a sophisticated depth. With an alcohol content of approximately 14.5%, this Merlot is ready to enjoy now and can evolve beautifully until 2030.
