Delight your guests with the marvelous flavors of California Merlot and open up a bottle of Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot.

Founded by UK native Peter Newton in 1964, Sterling Vineyards holds a special place in Napa Valley with a unique architecture that makes it one of the most must-see places in the region and a rich history that makes their wines a definite must-have for any wine rack. Established at a time when Cabernet was King of Napa, the winery decided to pursue the production of Chardonnay and Merlot eventually becoming one of the go-to names when it came to the varietals as they became even more popular. And as demands rose, the winery was more than happy to quench drinkers’ thirst for the captivating California wines.

Serving as their mainstay since its introduction in 1969, the Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot is one wine that deserves to be a staple of any wine rack by delivering the classic flavors of Merlot with every sip. Made from 100% Merlot, each vintage of this wine begins with the grapes being harvested, de-stemmed, and then cold-soaked for up to 2 days to infuse as much of its character into the finished wine. After this initial process, the juices are then vinified in temperature-controlled vats with the resulting wine undergoing aging in a combination of American, French, and European oak for 18 months, slowly developing its distinctive flavor profile before finally being tapped, bottled, and labeled.

Once on the glass, this vivid ruby-red Merlot yields an alluring whiff of black cherry, plum, and blackberry notes, paving the way for a thick and juicy palate of dark and red fruits, pencil lead, dried spice, and fine tannins that culminate in a smooth and fairly lengthy finish.

A brilliant treat on its own and even better when enjoyed alongside a delicious array of red meat and poultry dishes, the Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot is one wine you would always be proud to share with friends and loved ones. So send a bottle their way today as a token of your appreciation and let them savor its flavors all the way to the last sip.
