High above the Napa Valley floor in Soda Canyon's rocky bedrock, the Hossfeld Vineyard yields small, concentrated berries in a harsh, noble terroir. The 2015 Merlot from Elyse captures that intensity—hand-harvested fruit fermented in small lots and aged in French oak to deliver dark fruit, chocolate, and vanilla layered over mountain-grown minerality. This is Soda Canyon's honest expression: concentrated, textured, and unapologetically powerful.
