DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
As one of the oldest wineries in Monterey County, surpassing thirty-three years in business, there continues to be something special about family history and the environment it creates. Chateau Julien has had the same winemaker (Bill Anderson) since the Estate’s inaugural vintage in 1982 allowing each wine to be consistent in both pricing and quality.
The pride behind the wines is distinctive as each wine the Brower Family produces has something unique about it, making them different then many mainstream brands. The Brower family operates with one main goal, to produce wines for which customers will keep coming back.
Wine has been produced since the area’s first European settlers arrived centuries ago. Today, California wine country is the source for 90 percent of wine made in the United States, from everyday table wines to some of the world’s most sought-after bottlings.
Winemakers love Merlot grapes because they are easy to grow and quick to ripen. Casual wine drinkers appreciate that Merlot wines can be soft and approachable, with delicious dark fruit flavors. In Merlot blends, the grapes add a moderating influence, providing measured tannins, soft texture, medium acidity and medium alcohol. Accordingly, Merlot balances the more rustic and herbaceous qualities of Cabernet Sauvignon, a frequent blending partner.
