A beautiful Napa Valley Merlot worth savoring with your next meal
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Flora Springs
Merlot
The Flora Springs Napa Valley Merlot is a perennial favorite of many wine lovers. It’s an approachable wine with an easy-going texture that just hits all the pleasure buttons. The 2017 vintage draws on estate fruit from this winery’s sustainably-farmed vineyards in Oakville, St. Helena, and Rutherford, properties they have owned and farmed for decades. This 100% Merlot spent 20 months in mostly French oak barrels, and the result is delicious. It tastes of ripe berry liqueur mixed with ripe blueberries and vanilla. It’s a burst of pleasure to the palate that keeps you coming back for more.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
Napa Valley
Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.

TASTING NOTES:
Vanilla
Spices
Blueberry
The wine delivers flavors of ripe blueberries and cherry liqueur layered with luscious notes of vanilla wafers and dark chocolate. There’s a hint of chaparral that adds freshness to the palate, along with warm traces of cardamom and cinnamon spice. This is a classic, beautifully-balanced Napa Valley Merlot, polished and rich with velvety tannins and a long, silky finish.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Flora Springs
Flora Springs was founded in 1978, but its legacy dates back to the late 1800s when wine grapes were first planted on the Napa Valley property that is now the estate vineyards. It is this depth of this history that the Komes family takes to heart as stewards of this land. Their family’s commitment to its health and vitality is apparent in everything the winery does.
