BOYD VINEYARD

MERLOT

OAK KNOLL

 

The Boyd Vineyard was founded in 1998 by Stan and Joan Boyd. Located on Big Ranch Road in the Oak Knoll District in the southern end of Napa Valley Boyd Vineyard is situated on the valley floor and has a cooler climate and heavy, deep alluvial clay loam soils perfectly suited for growing Merlot and Syrah. I met Stan in 2006 off of an ad he placed to sell his fruit only two years after my first vintage. The fruit from Boyd comes from Block A which is planted to Clone 181 yielding on average just over 3 ton per acre. Situated the farthest away from the Napa River, Block A has been specially prepared for additional moisture drainage to ensure timely ripening. The wine is produced with an extremely unique and proprietary method resulting in a merlot unlike any other. Bold, structured, exotic and extremely lush, this wine is pure luxury.
