Uvada, from the Spanish language, means "a bountiful harvest" and this wine delivers on the promise.  A vintage advertising poster inspired Uvada's elegant label.

Winemaker John McKay says of the 2003 vintage, "The 2003 vintage Uvada has complex aromas of black cherries, toasty oak, and mature fruit that beg to be tasted.  Rich flavors of ripe black fruit and sweet vanilla fulfill the expectations.  This is a serious Merlot of pedigree and consistent quality that will not disappoint."

The wine is a blend of 84% percent Merlot from Andy Beckstoffer's "Vineyard X" and 16% percent Cabernet Sauvignon from the Yount Mill Vineyard "Pelissa Block," in Oakville.
