Any experience with Red Mountain Merlot

[cgallamo]

Hello all - I am getting a tote of Red mountain merlot and blending in a bit of Cab Sav and Cab Franc (%10 each). Any tips on yeast choice and technique? Looking to draw out the characteristics of the region, and make a dense age worthy wine.

Out of curiosity, what yeast did you end up going with and how is it going. I get grapes just west of that from Prosser area.

Hello David - I have not decided yet I think I may even taste the grapes before deciding. Still gathering more data. I get the grapes in a couple weeks. Love the pic of your child!
