Sterling Vintner’s Collection Merlot

A smooth and silky dry red, this deeply concentrated Sterling Vineyards Vintner’s Collection California Merlot Red Wine tastes way above the price point. Mixed berry notes, spices, and a hint of tempting mocha make for a full-bodied drinking experience. This Merlot wine is best paired with mushrooms, roasted beef, or dark chocolate. Sterling Vineyards was founded in 1964 by Oxford graduate and successful businessman Peter Newton. Newton was an early pioneer of crafting Bordeaux-inspired red wines in California and helped transform the Napa Valley region into the premier winemaking appellation we know today.

Tasting Notes

The Sterling Vintners Collection Merlot boasts vivid aromas of fresh mixedberry jam, red cherry, milk chocolate and baked spice. The wine is round and with good weight and generous flavors of blackberry bramble, sweet toasted oak and mocha. The wine is full-bodied with great concentration, silky tannins and a lengthy finish.
