Merryvale XXXVI Napa Valley Red Wine

This exceptional red blend originates from the United States, specifically the renowned Napa Valley region in California. Founded in 1983, Merryvale Vineyards is inspired by the European sensibilities of its owners, René and Laurence Schlatter, who focus on capturing the power and concentration of Napa hillside vineyards. The winery's philosophy emphasizes managing tannins for approachability while ensuring the wines retain the elegance, bright acidity, and texture required to age gracefully.
