Currants and berries with some pine-bark undertones. Violets and earth, too. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Merlot character. Really delicious now, but can age.

Firm, with a snap of dried green herbs to the dried cherry and berry flavors. Minerally midpalate, with a finish that’s filled with toasty notes and hints of mocha.

Napa Valley, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Northern California, is renowned worldwide as a mecca for wine enthusiasts, with its crown jewel being the illustrious Cabernet Sauvignon. Here, the warm, sun-drenched days and cool, breezy nights create the perfect environment for grapes to flourish, resulting in wines bursting with flavor and character. Beyond its famed Cabernet, Napa cultivates an array of grape varieties, from elegant Chardonnays to robust Merlots, each expressing the region's unique terroir. Winemakers, akin to artisans, skillfully blend these varietals, crafting wines that are as diverse as they are delightful. With over 400 wineries to explore, including iconic names like Opus One, Napa offers an immersive tasting experience, where every sip tells a story of passion, innovation, and sustainability. Cheers to Napa Valley, where the art of winemaking reaches its pinnacle!
Merlot is another red wine grape variety that is widely cultivated and used in winemaking around the world. It is known for producing wines that are generally softer, rounder, and more approachable than some of the more tannic red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is often used in blends, and it is a key component in Bordeaux wines, particularly on the right bank of the Gironde River.
