Murphy Goode Merlot California

Back in 1985, good friends, Tim Murphy, Dale Goode, and Dave Ready, were deep in their weekly game of liar’s dice when an idea was formulated. On that particularly lively night, the trio decided to make their love of wine official.
They pooled their collective talents together and established Murphy-Goode, a serious winery built around a common concept: don’t take life so seriously. And they did a pretty “goode” job!

Thoughts from the Winemaker:
“This is no wimpy Merlot. We make this wine to please even the finickiest of Cab drinkers. Look for aromas and flavors of black cherry, blueberry,
and blackberry all tied together with just a kiss of toasty vanilla.” David Ready, Jr.
