Sterling Vintner S Collection Merlot

Sterling Vineyard's Vintner S Collection Merlot from Calistoga showcases the warmth and ripeness characteristic of this Napa Valley subregion. Dominant black cherry and dark plum fruit form the core, supported by gentle cocoa and toasted oak notes from measured barrel aging. Soft, approachable tannins and balanced acidity make this wine an ideal companion to grilled meats, braised beef, and herb-forward pasta dishes. A versatile, well-crafted expression of California Merlot suited to both casual dining and weeknight entertaining.
