Yorkville Cellars 2001 Merlot from our Rennie Vineyard We were so excited, we had to double-check their website to make sure> http://www.sfwinecomp.com/results/2004_Best.pdf Our current vintage selling in our tasting room and on our website, the 2000 Merlot, is $18 a bottle and we hadn't yet decided what the price will be for this new, un-released vintage. But in the best centuries-old tradition of Bordeaux, we will attempt "to match quality of the vintage with supply and demand" (short-hand wine-speak for "we don't have a lot and north of $20 a bottle"). On a serious note, we truly believe that over the long-term we'll attract the best, most loyal customers for Yorkville Cellars by offering OUTSTANDING quality for the price VALUE. We all know you can spend an ever-increasing higher amount on a bottle of wine. So, in this case, we hope you'll consider by-passing the Napa $40, $45, $48, and $65 "Reserve" Merlots that the distinguished judges gave bronze medals to and look no further. Great wine is meant to be shared! So to celebrate with our best friends and most loyal customers, we're offering: 2001 Merlot case of 12 for $180. 2001 Merlot 6-pack for $90. Merlot 3-Pack A "vertical" sample of 1 each: 1999, 2000, and 2001 for just $49.
