Dow Jones Description

In 1997 Jacques Schlumberger and his wife Barbara purchased a slope on top of Bradford Mountain adjacent to the proven Hambrecht vineyard (for years a source of grapes for both the Ridge and Arrowood wineries). Michel-Schlumberger broke ground on that slope in 1998. Today Michel-Schlumberger has a well-earned reputation for its excellent Bordeaux varieties. We have long believed in blending these varieties for complexity, and our red wines have harnessed the ripe, raw power of the new world with the elegant reins of the old. For example, our merlot has consistently shown well-knit aromatics and richly structured flavors-unusual characteristics for what is known in California as a soft, "entry-level" wine. Likewise our cabernet is prized for its classic claret balance, depth of fruit, and nuance. These are wines of finesse.
