Merlot

Hopper House Vineyard
Yountville District, Napa Valley
$53.60 CLUB
1 of 10 Barrels

Our Hopper House Vineyard selection offers everything we love about Merlot: briary blackberry, mocha and plum aromas that open to lush flavors of jammy ripe fig and baking spices, all supported by this varietal’s signature round, plush tannins. Exceptionally food friendly, this wine would pair beautifully with a smoked Gouda and bacon macaroni & cheese.
