About Provenance Vineyards
Provenance Vineyards, located in Rutherford of the Napa Valley, crafts fine, small-lot Bordeaux varietal wines using grapes from Napa Valley’s best vineyards. “Winemakers Trevor Durling and John Hazak are purists, relying on the finest winemaking traditions to extract elegant, powerful wines that express their premium vineyard origins rather than the winemakers’ interventions.”

TASTING NOTES:
“Silky and elegant, our 2013 Napa Valley Merlot gracefully reveals its fruit-driven character of ripe cherry and blackberry compote. Hints of dark chocolate and hazelnut meld with a savory edge of pipe tobacco and bay leaf. The well-knit acidity enlivens the mouth-filling flavors, while supple tannins frame the wine and give age worthiness. Complex baking spice nuances from three types of oak barrels—French, American and Hungarian—weave through this Merlot’s generous varietal expression.” (AbV 15.1%, pH 3.60, TA 5.7 g/L, 95% Merlot 5% Cabernet Sauvignon)

BARRELS:
21 months in 65% French, 25% American and 10% Hungarian oak; 30% new.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED MUSIC to listen to in anticipation of this wine:

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Spicy lamb meatballs, roasted duck with cherry sauce, chicken thighs grilled with red peppers & onions, and steak with mushrooms.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Some moody mid-aughts music.
