The certified sustainable Wente Vineyards Sandstone Merlot is grown on the Central Coast of California. This classic red wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged in French and American oak barrels, giving it lingering acidity and a long finish. Its dark berry flavors of cranberry, dark cherry, and acai pair perfectly with ribs, brie, Italian sausage, roast chicken, or chocolate mousse.

The Wente Vineyards Sandstone Merlot comes from hillside vineyards on the Central Coast of California with namesake sandstone soils. The vineyards benefit from warm days, well-drained soils, and cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean. Five generations of the Wente family have handcrafted fine wines that express the very best of its vineyards and winemaking expertise.

 When done right, Merlot can be an extremely pleasurable experience, as expressed in this widely available and affordable bottling. Cherry, woodspice and cocoa aromas are clean and direct on the nose. The palate is joyous with red cherry, cedar and berry sorbet flavors.
