Stagecoach Vineyard

Atlas Peak Merlot

The Freemark Abbey Stagecoach Vineyard Merlot from the Atlas Peak region is a truly enchanting red wine that beautifully showcases the rich terroir of Napa Valley's elevated vineyard sites. This Merlot greets you with a deep, ruby red hue that hints at the lush flavors within. An inviting bouquet of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and plums is delicately intertwined with notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and a touch of cocoa. On the palate, this wine presents a harmonious balance between its smooth, full-bodied texture and vibrant acidity, making each sip a delightful experience. Its structured tannins are firm yet refined, providing the wine with a graceful framework that holds together its vibrant fruit intensity and complex layers. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a pleasing hint of spice that lingers well after the last drop. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a hearty meal, the Freemark Abbey Stagecoach Vineyard Merlot is a sophisticated expression of Atlas Peak's extraordinary winegrowing potential.

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
