Sterling Vineyards Merlot

Per the bottle: As the first winery in Napa Valley to produce a vintage-dated merlot, we prode ourselves on our legacy with this nobel varietal.  Out style of merlot overlays the grape's plush mouthfeel and red fruit flavors with sixteen months of oak barrel aging that contributes rich toast and spice notes.  In addtion to warmer temperature vineyards surrounding the winery, we draw on cooler sub-regions further south in Napa Valley to add complexity, brightnessm and finesse.
