Product No : W25

From California 
Sandstone Merlot (red) x 1
Morning Fog Chardonnay (white) x 1 

This set includes two bottles: a Chardonnay made by Wente, the originator of California Chardonnay, and a Merlot that boasts a velvety smooth taste.

The grapes for Sandstone Merlot are harvested from the gently sloping vineyards along the southeastern edge of Livermore Valley. With warm days and cool nights, well-drained sandstone soils, and winds blowing in from San Francisco Bay, Wente's favorable environment produces an exceptional Merlot.

The grapes are harvested individually from each vineyard and fermented in stainless steel tanks. To maximize the extraction of tannins and pigments, the grapes are pumped over twice a day. This process also allows the grapes to be exposed to air, resulting in a smoother mouthfeel.

Aged for 16 months in American, French and other European oak barrels.
In addition to fruity aromas of blackberry and plum, you can also feel the subtle nuances of toasted oak. The smooth tannins give it a long finish.
