Merryvale Merlot Napa Valley, 2005 1.5L

This wine is now only available in magnums!

Cart Total: $0.00

About This Wine:

This wine received our top Merlot fruit of the vintage. The grapes were hand-picked and carefully sorted before undergoing extended maceration and native yeast fermentation. We like to blend hillside fruit with bench and valley floor fruit to give the wine added complexity and texture.
