California is blessed with\u003cbr\u003ecool ocean air that blankets our vineyards in the early morning until\u003cbr\u003ethe warm sun peaks through the clouds in the afternoon. This\u003cbr\u003ewonderful combination of sea, sunshine and soil makes perfect\u003cbr\u003egrowing conditions for our grapes to develop intense flavors and\u003cbr\u003eelegant character that is true to each varietal.\u003cbr\u003eOur passion is to make the best wine each vintage to enhance life’s\u003cbr\u003ebest moments. At Ryder Estate, we keep it real and make great\u003cbr\u003ewines you can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWINEMAKING\u003cbr\u003eAt the winery, the fruit is carefully sorted then destemmed, crushed and fermented\u003cbr\u003eat warm temperatures in stainless steel fermenters. Gentle punch downs are\u003cbr\u003eperformed several times a day. Once dry, the must is pressed into stainless steel\u003cbr\u003etanks for settling, then racked prior to aging on new and neutral French and\u003cbr\u003eAmerican oak.\u003cbr\u003eTASTIN G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003eOur Ryder Estate Merlot is savory, ripe and velvety.
