Producer Information: Folie à Deux Winery
Folie à Deux Winery is based in the heart of Sonoma County, California, specifically within the acclaimed Dry Creek Valley. The winery was established in 1981 by two psychiatrists who shared a passion for winemaking and named their venture after the French term for “a madness shared by two.” Folie à Deux focuses on producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sonoma’s diverse microclimates, employing sustainable vineyard practices and meticulous small-lot fermentation techniques to ensure quality and consistency across vintages.
Beyond their flagship Zinfandel, Folie à Deux offers a broad portfolio that includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. The winery also produces blends that highlight classic Bordeaux varietals sourced from select vineyards throughout Napa and Sonoma counties. While primarily focused on still wines, Folie à Deux has expanded its offerings over time to include limited releases of specialty bottlings tailored to club members and tasting room visitors. Their commitment to expressing varietal character through careful site selection has positioned them as a respected name among California wine producers.

Merlot is a popular red wine grape variety known for its smooth texture and fruit-forward flavor profile. Characterized by notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate, and raspberry, it often features aromas of blackberry, vanilla, cedar, tobacco, and green bell pepper. This medium to full-bodied wine is typically produced in renowned regions such as Bordeaux in France, California in the USA, Chile, Italy’s Tuscany region, and Australia.
The winemaking techniques for Merlot include cold maceration and fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels to enhance its complexity. Malolactic fermentation is commonly employed to soften the wine’s tannins. Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled meats like beef and lamb, roasted vegetables, pasta with red sauce, and duck dishes. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for casual dining occasions such as barbecues and family gatherings while appealing to both seasoned red wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
