2014 Kelham Vineyards SONS
Oakville, Napa Valley
Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Tasting Notes:
The 2014 SONS blend from Kelham Vineyards is a masterfully balanced expression of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the elegance and richness that Oakville soils uniquely deliver.

In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby core with soft garnet edges, signaling both structure and maturity. The nose opens with inviting aromas of black cherry, plum compote, and dried rose petal, layered with warm notes of vanilla bean, cocoa powder, and toasted cedar.

On the palate, the wine is remarkably smooth and harmonious—Merlot’s plush, velvety texture meets Cabernet’s depth and quiet power. Flavors of ripe dark berries, milk chocolate, and fig unfold gracefully, supported by silky tannins and a lingering finish accented by hints of spice, graphite, and soft leather.

Mouthfeel:
Supple and polished, with a rounded mid-palate and a seamless structure that makes this wine immediately enjoyable while still offering complexity and depth.

Pairing Suggestions:
Perfect alongside roasted duck, grilled filet mignon, or a simple plate of aged cheeses and crusty bread.

Cellaring:
At its peak now, with the ability to hold gracefully through 2045+
