"Drifting often leads to something great" This is what happened when Steve Millier, Winemaker for Drifting Wines sauntered into the rich, sandy loam soils in Lodi and ended up producing this lovely Merlot, amongst others.

The grapes for this Merlot were sourced from certified sustainably-grown vines in the heart of Lodi. Sustainable farming ensures the long-term health of the vines, which in turn gives Stephen higher-quality grapes to turn into delicious wines for you.

We can't find this in any supermarkets or online so were lucky to source 24 bottles (Dec '21) – get yours while it lasts!
