Unforgettable Estate Blends from California's Livermore Valley
Murrieta's Well is named after the legendary Gold Rush era outlaw, Joaquin Murrieta, who camped by the artesian well on the winery property on his way to Mexico to sell wild horses. Previously owned by Louis Mel, the historic property was brought back to life in 1990 by viticulturalist Phil Wente and winemaker Sergio Traverso. Like most classic wine estates around the world, the Murrieta's Well estate vineyard is small, just 92 acres. A favorable variety of predominantly undulating terrain and gravelly soil types shape the character of the estate's wines. Murrieta's Well produces handcrafted wines, including Red Meritage, White Meritage and Zarzuela.
