Merlot

Estate Bottled

In the late 1930s, our Grandfather, Irv Bliss, first visited Mendocino County and spotted a picturesque ranch among the rolling hills and unspoiled land.  Years later, when Irv learned of a Mendocino property for sale, he gathered all his savings and placed a bid — sight unseen.  As fate would have it, the plot Irv purchased was the original 450-acre estate that had captivated his imagination years before.
