Robert Hall Merlot Paso Robles 2016 750 ML

During a family trip to France in the late 70?s, Robert visited the Rhone valley and was captivated by the winery lifestyle of farming, crafting wine and the pairing of wine with food. Robert began developing his idea for a premium-producing vineyard and winery in the early-80?s, and ventured west with the goal of visiting each of California?s wine appellations to explore the optimum growing conditions for the production of premium wine grapes, specifically the Rhone varieties he had enjoyed so much. In early-90?s, Robert and Margaret discovered the perfect terroir in the Paso Robles appellation. Featuring soil rich in nutrients, coupled with warm days and cool nights, Robert felt the viticultural conditions were ideal to the development of the enological characteristics he was seeking to produce. ?Home Ranch? was acquired in 1995. Soon after, the ?Terrace? and ?Bench? vineyards joined the Hall Ranch enclave.
