Cuvaison Merlot Napa Valley Carneros 2001
The philosophy of Cuvaison Winemaker Steven Rogstad sums it up best, “My style and philosophy are based on expressing the unique character of our estate grapes and doing as little as possible to them. When one has such wonderful fruit to work with, that should be one’s emphasis.”
