Trig Point Merlot Diamond Dust Vineyard

A trig has been used for many years to establish boundary lines. Trigonometrical stations were set on the top of hills and used as surveying sites. Just as my father was a land surveyor and used these trigs as a reference so do I when it comes to well known vineyard sites Nick Goldschmidt Winemaker. The Wine Vineyard Profile The Diamond Dust Vineyard lies just south of the town of Geyserville in the renowned Alexander Valley wine region. Its old low vigor vines consistently produce Merlot with more power and depth than typically found in the appellation. The Diamond Dust Vineyard is perfect for Merlot. Situated in the southern and cooler end of the Alexander Valley and coupled with a slightly more vigorous soil means that the fruit can be taken to full flavor and perfect sugar without dehydration. Given the vineyard is over 30 years old the canopy-to-crop ration tends to be in perfect balance cropping at around 3.5-4.2 t/acre. Harvest Notes We were challenged in 2015
