Provenance Vineyards Merlot Napa Valley

Provenance Vineyards Merlot is a red wine from Napa Valley, made entirely from Merlot. The grapes come from several vineyards, including Oakville, which adds dark fruit, a dense texture and a flinty finish, and Oak Knoll, which brings ripe red and blue fruit, spice and focused acidity from deeper soils and older vines. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel with weekly stirring, and the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak, with a minimal approach to winemaking. It is structured and fruit-forward, with ripe blueberry and plum flavours and layers of herbal spice.
