Mercy Vineyards
Through the millennia, Man's quixotic attempt to produce the finest wines has borne an unyielding Truth: The Vine is always at the Mercy of Mother Nature. Mercy Vineyards represents a pursuit to showcase the innate spirit of Monterey County's Arroyo Seco AVA as one of the preeminent locales for the cultivation of world-class Burgundian varietals, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Established by vintners Mark Dirickson and Mike Kohne the wines are sourced from meticulous grape-growers and premium regional vineyards. Vintners: Mercy Vineyards is the fruition of friendships. Vintners Mark and Mike have known one another for over a decade and have, collectively, been in the wine industry for over 45 years. Their experiences lead them to believe that the regional aspects of the Arroyo Seco AVA make it one of world's ideal growing regions for the wines they produce. Sourcing idyllic fruit, the wines are vinified by Mark and Mike's long-time friend and distinguished winemaker Alan Phillips. Produced in small lots, Alan employs classical winemaking techniques to help enhance the overall character of the Mercy wines. The Mercy wines are vinified at Terravant Wine Company, a state-of-the-art facility where Alan Phillips is the Director of Winemaking. We invite you to Have Mercy!
