Wente Family Vineyards Sandstone Merlot is a smooth and elegant California red wine crafted with rich Merlot character and balanced oak aging. This wine opens with inviting aromas of black currant, ripe plum, blackberry, and dark cherry layered with notes of espresso, chocolate, vanilla, and toasted oak. The palate is plush and fruit-forward with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a long velvety finish featuring hints of spice, graphite, and creamy oak. A beautifully approachable yet refined Merlot that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, pasta, pizza, roasted vegetables, and hearty comfort foods.
