This label was introduced to commemorate the Friend family’s four generations of involvement with the Narkoojee property and is reserved for a merlot wine of outstanding quality. The fruit for this wine was handpicked from our estate plantings. It was fermented by indigenous yeasts and has exceptional balance and intensity. Only one selected hogshead barrel of this wine was produced.
