Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn, opened the gates of heaven each morning allowing the sun to rise. Fiercely passionate, she was cursed by Aphrodite for having an affair with Ares. Her punishment was an insatiable appetite for young men. At Eos – the winery – we’re just as passionate as our namesake, but our insatiable appetite is focused toward the production of great wines. Since the mid-1980s, we have built our reputation on dense reds, complex whites and luscious dessert wines from great AVAs throughout the state.

Tasting notes

Our 2024 California Merlot opens with inviting aromas of cherry, boysenberry, blackberry, and tobacco spice. The palate offers robust tannins amid flavors of raspberry, Earl Grey tea, plum, cardamom spice, and cocoa. The finish is smooth and velvety.

V I N E Y A R D S
At Eos, we believe great wines cannot be made without great fruit. We source our grapes from quality vineyards in the premiere growing regions of California, including Lake County, Sonoma County and all along the Central Coast. The geographical diversity of these regions yield a plethora of distinct microclimates and results in wines with unique aromas, flavors and texture.

Vintage Notes

The 2024 growing season was characterized by a long, wet dormant period followed by a mild spring. These conditions led to healthy vine development and an extended ripening phase. The prolonged season resulted in wines with lower alcohol levels, higher acidity, and robust structural components, promising excellent aging potential.
