The Story

From the sustainably farmed French Camp Vineyard in Paso Robles Highlands, Reciprocity Merlot blends richness, elegance, and a touch of structure. Awarded 91 points by Wine Enthusiast, it opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and violet, followed by dark, jammy fruit layered with black pepper and a subtle earthy smokiness. A portion of Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth and complexity, while sur lie aging in French oak for 12 months lends a velvety texture. The result is a beautifully balanced wine that reflects our belief—what we receive, we replenish.
