Cakebread Cellars - Merlot

Cakebread Cellars is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Napa Valley. Their Merlot is a classic example of the varietal, with a rich and complex taste profile that is sure to please any wine lover.

The wine is deep ruby in color, with aromas of black cherry, plum, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, giving the wine a long and satisfying finish.

Cakebread Cellars has been producing world-class wines for over 40 years, and their Merlot is no exception. The grapes are sourced from some of the best vineyards in Napa Valley, and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months to enhance its complexity and depth.

This Merlot is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like steak or lamb, or for sipping on its own while enjoying a cozy evening at home. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of wine, Cakebread Cellars' Merlot is a must-try.

Tasting notes

The Merlot is all from estate-grown fruit, with 87% coming from their Suscol Springs vineyard and 13% from Cakebread Winery Ranch vineyard. It was aged for 17 months in 55% new French Oak.

Deep garnet-purple, the nose comes bounding of the glass with notes of blueberry pie, baked plums, and chocolate box with hints of liquorice and spice box. Medium-bodied, the palate gives up intense blue and black fruit preserves flavours with a wicked backbone of freshness and light grip of chewy tannins, finishing long and spicy.
