About This Wine


Still & Co.

Opulent Red

The 2013 Still & Co. Napa Valley Merlot blew our experts and judges away. After winning a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition it went on to become a member favorite in the club—now we are happy to announce the newest wine from Still & Co.: a luxurious Washington Red. Washington State’s burgeoning wine culture fascinates our team. Sitting at a latitude between Bordeaux and Burgundy, the soils and the climate are just right for growing vines. This wine is supple and full-bodied with a vein of acidity that comes from the cool nights. Subtle hints of spice complement the rich fruit flavors and make it a great wine to pair with food. And, this wine just took home 92 points and a Gold medal from the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition!

Wine Region


Washington

With 18 recognized AVAs, Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. Most of these AVAs are located in the east, centered around the valleys of Walla Walla, the Columbia River and Yakima. The grape varieties that thrive here are numerous: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris all continue to make increasingly compelling wines. Washington wines thrive in dry, semi-arid conditions far from the Pacific Ocean and are protected from the Pacific Northwest rain shadow by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Washington owes its unique terroir to the historic Missoula Floods, which swept through the region 10,000 years ago, stripping away the earth and replacing it with sandy soils from modern-day Utah, Idaho and Montana.
