Description
Founded in 1972, Firestone was the first major estate winery to sink roots in Santa Barbara County. The winery’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean, a mere 26 miles to the west, ensures a relatively mild and arid climate throughout the year. The grapes for this wine come from a vineyard on our estate in Santa Ynez Valley. Situated at 1,000-foot elevation on a plateau, this vineyard is comprised of gravely, sandy loam soil from sedimentary oceanic rocks
containing limestone and shale, ideal soil for growing our Merlot because of its permeable qualities. During the growing season, the fog sits right on top of our vineyards, creating desirable, cool foggy morning weather, with diurnal temperature swings of 50 degrees. Our Merlot is layered and dynamic, featuring aromas and flavors of spiced plum, wild cherry and tobacco. Balanced acidity
and smooth tannins finish with a hint of toasty oak. The easy-drinking qualities of this Merlot make it the perfect wine to pair with any red meat course or fragrantly-spiced roasted or grilled poultry dishes.
