Anyone in Southern Ohio, Southern Indiana or Northern Kentucky growing Merlot?
The only vineyard I know that grows any is Valley Vineyard in Warren County.
Buds tend to be a little more tender than Cab. Franc or Cab. Sauv. Spring bud break is on par with Cab. Sauv.
LT 50 is -10 F. We have not been that low since the polar vortex of 2014/15.
Looking at adding some red Vinifera vines in 2022. Option to Merlot would be Malbec. I think Pinot Noir would not like our hot summer nights (but Pinot Gris seems fine with it).
Throwing that out there for opinions.
