*Vintage may vary by location*

Complex aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and mocha intertwine with subtle notes of violet and mint. This medium-bodied wine is bursting with flavors of plums, red currant and figs upfront, leading to juicy red fruit on the midpalate. The soft mid palate finishes with fine, plush tannins highlighted by a bright acidity.

Appreciation bred passion, and Rombauer Vineyards was established in 1980. Thirty-five years later, the winery remains owned and operated by first-, second- and third-generation members of the family.

• 81% Merlot • 12% Petit Verdot • 7% Cabernet Sauvignon •

A good, solid-quality, firm-textured wine that offers sturdy tannins and ripe, handsome red and black fruit flavors. Full-bodied, balanced, spicy and mouth-filling. Made from mostly Carneros merlot grapes, with the addition of 12% petit verdot and 7% cabernet sauvignon.

Rombauer's 2022 Merlot Napa Valley is largely sourced from Carneros; a portion of the wine is barrel-fermented, and the Merlot is augmented by small portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The nose is marked by scents of pencil shavings and black cherries—it's lacking herbal notes but does include hints of coffee and dark chocolate. In the mouth, this medium- to full-bodied wine is silky and plush, with a mouthwatering finish.
