WINE DESCRIPTION

Sand Point Merlot is a premium red wine produced by Sand Point Winery, known for their exceptional quality wines. The grapes used to make this wine are sourced from select vineyards in the renowned Napa Valley appellation, which is known for its ideal growing conditions for Merlot grapes. The vineyards feature well-draining soils and a moderate climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's structure and complexity. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Merlot with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.
