Napa Valley Merlot
Serving and Storage
Serving and Storage
- Ready to drink? Our Merlot tastes best when it is slightly chilled to 65 degrees F. We recommend you put it on ice or in the refrigerator for a few minutes before enjoying as it’s best served slightly cool to allow its complex aromas to shine! This is especially important if you are drinking it outside on a warm summer day or near a fireplace.
- Not drinking this soon? Store in a cool, dark place, ideally 57-62 degrees F, and on its side to protect it from damage and keep the cork wet. While this wine is delicious upon release, it will continue to develop for up to seven years from the vintage date.
