Provenance Vineyards, located in the heart of Napa Valley, is renowned for crafting wines that express the unique terroir of the region. Their Merlot is a testament to this philosophy, showcasing the rich, velvety character typical of Napa Valley Merlots. The wine is composed primarily of Merlot grapes, with small additions of other Bordeaux varietals to enhance complexity. It is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which impart subtle notes of vanilla and spice. On the palate, the wine offers lush flavors of ripe plum, black cherry, and chocolate, balanced by a smooth tannin structure and a hint of acidity. This Merlot pairs beautifully with roasted meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
