"The 1993 Merlot exhibits an opaque ruby color, a big, exotic, chocolatey, smoky, jammy black-cherry-scented nose, rich, full-bodied, supple flavors, low acidity, and a lush, chewy finish. It is all a Merlot should be. . . .The 5000 cases of Merlot made each year are one of California's more chocolatey, robust, and intensely-concentrated Merlots. Stonestreet's Merlot is generally a blend of 77%-84% Merlot, with the balance mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, and occasionally a small amount of Cabernet Franc. These wines, which are bottled unfiltered, are expressive and dramatic."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
