What’s in a Name?

Merlot is an unsung hero when it comes to rose. We've always loved the refreshing citrus and stone fruit flavors it showcases, and we picked the grapes a bit on the leaner side to make sure it was light and fresh. The name "Summer Hum" is a reference to the Lorine Niedecker poem "Paen to Place." The original label art was created by Madeleine Tonzi.
