St Supery Rutherford Merlot 2019

St Supéry Estate Vineyards and Winery is a family-owned estate located in the heart of Napa Valley’s Rutherford subregion. Known for its commitment to sustainable farming and estate-grown wines, the winery produces exceptional single-varietal offerings that express the unique character of its vineyards.

This 2019 Merlot is a deep ruby red with aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, and hints of cocoa and dried herbs. On the palate, it offers rich layers of red berry fruit, mocha, and a touch of vanilla from well-integrated oak. The wine is medium to full-bodied with supple tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. Crafted predominantly from Merlot, it is approachable now but has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 6–8 years. The balance between ripe fruit, acidity, and tannin underscores its finesse and elegance.
