Rombauer Vineyards Merlot is crafted from grapes grown in the Napa Valley, where the warm climate and diverse soils contribute to its rich character. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fruit purity, followed by aging in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which imparts subtle spice and vanilla notes. This Merlot is designed to be approachable and versatile, offering flavors of ripe plum and black cherry, supported by soft tannins and balanced acidity. It is suitable for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.
