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.

On the north side of Hopper Creek, the bale loam soils and long, warm days are tempered at night by the creek’s cooling influence, offering the perfect terroir for exceptional Napa Valley Merlot.
