Delivery
Sandstone Merlot is a great display of Bordeaux grapes from hillside and valley floor vineyards, each of which gives distinct aromatics and structure to the wine. The estate-grown and certified sustainable vineyards that make up this wine are harvested, fermented and aged separately in barrel. Beautiful aromas of fruit-forward spiced cherry with a focus on dark fruit such as blueberry or boysenberry. A smooth mouthfeel, bright acidity and inviting tannins are balanced by a clean and dry finish.
VINEYARD
This Estate Grown Sandstone Merlot comes from a gently sloping formation of hills running along the southeastern corner of the historic Livermore Valley. With warm days, cool nights, well-drained sandstone soils, and incoming breezes from the San Francisco Bay, the Wente family’s hillside vineyard is an ideal place to grow outstanding Merlot and Bordeaux varieties.
WINEMAKING
FERMENTATION
Varietals were fermented separately in upright stainless steel fermenters and pumped over 2-3 times daily. Wine was pressed on the skins after 7-12 days.
AGING
Aged for 19 months in French and American oak barrels.
