Wente Vineyards Sandstone Merlot is an elegant and expressive Californian wine from the renowned Livermore Valley. Crafted by Wente, a family-run winery with over 140 years of experience, this Merlot showcases rich flavours and a smooth finish. The vineyard’s unique terroir, with well-drained sandstone soils, gives the wine its distinctive character and depth.
This Merlot has a deep ruby-red hue, offering a visually enticing experience from the first pour. On the nose, aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and raspberry mingle with hints of vanilla, mocha, and toasted oak. These scents create an inviting bouquet, setting the stage for a well-balanced palate.
The first sip reveals layers of juicy red and black fruit, complemented by soft tannins and a silky texture. Subtle notes of cocoa, clove, and baking spice add complexity, while a touch of cedar enhances the wine’s structure. A balanced acidity lifts the flavours, making each sip fresh and vibrant. The finish is long and smooth, leaving traces of dark fruit and warm spice.
Aged in a mix of French and American oak, this Merlot gains depth without overpowering its fruit-forward nature. The careful ageing process enhances the wine’s elegance, ensuring a refined and polished profile.
Wente Vineyards Sandstone Merlot pairs beautifully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and creamy cheeses. It complements dishes like herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto, and slow-cooked beef ragu. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for both casual dining and special occasions.
Best enjoyed slightly below room temperature, this Merlot can be savoured now or cellared for added complexity. Whether shared with friends or enjoyed alone, it delivers a rich and rewarding tasting experience.
