Our Wines
       Welcome to the land of Blue-Merle Country
Living and our winery, the Blue-Merle, located in
San Diego County, CA.  The vineyard is located
42 miles from downtown on a steep hillside 1,625
ft. above sea level with panoramic views of
surrounding mountains and the Pacific Ocean
which sends cooling breezes most afternoons.
There are five distinct soil types planted with a
varietal to capture the characteristics of  the
land: Tempranillio (on harsh, rocky red clay),
Grenache (on a decomposed granite slope),  
Aglianico (on a sandy, DG mix at the top of the
hill), Petite Sirah (on silty soil at the bottom of
the hill) and Zinfandel (on an inhospitable ridge
of compact, brick-like DG). Also featured on the
grounds are a Protea Garden, Lavender Fields,
olive trees, a theological garden, the "Man In
The Rock" boulder, and the "Fence de Lum" -- a
grove of Zinfandel vines growing freely along a
fence named for San Diego's winemaking legend
Lum Eisenman. Please join us on our continuing
adventures at the Blue-Merle Vineyard & Winery,
named for our cellar master Bluey, the Australian
Shepherd Blue Merle, as we "Grow Your Own,
Cook Your Own, Make Your Own Wine."
