Product Notes

Cakebread Cellars Merlot Napa Valley is an exquisite Californian wine offering luscious, intense flavours. Carefully curated in the esteemed Napa Valley, it delights the palate with sumptuous blackberry, dark cherry notes, and subtle undertones of sweet oak and spice. Matured in French oak barrels, the Merlot possesses a richness that is consummately balanced by its soft, elegant tannin profile, making it luxurious yet inviting. Its ruby red hue and velvety finish thrive beautifully on the palate. This Merlot is a testament to Cakebread's dedication to creating exceptional wines with finesse, depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes

This is a savory, bold and structured wine, with a firm foundation. Hints of dried herbs, along with aromas of deep blackberry and black cherry, are evident along with mineral notes of crushed stone. The flavors are deeply concentrated with black plum, as well as fresh blackberries to match the nose. Freshness and acidity are followed by silky textures and refined, elegant tannins
