Shafer Merlot

Shafer Vineyards Merlot is a benchmark of Napa Valley, celebrated for its "bright, bold elegance" and a production legacy dating back to 1981. This wine is consistently crafted to be plush and richly textured, typically featuring abundant layers of red plum, dark cherry, and raspberry accented by notes of violet, baking spices, and vanilla. It is generally aged for 18 to 20 months in 100% new French oak, resulting in a structured yet silky finish that allows it to age gracefully for several years.
