Chelsea Goldschmidt Merlot is a California red wine produced by Goldschmidt Vineyards from their Guidestone Rise estate in Alexander Valley, Sonoma County. Alexander Valley's warm days and cool nights contribute to the wine's characteristic clarity, vibrancy, and lifted fruit profile, setting it apart from denser, more structured expressions from neighboring appellations.

The wine displays a bright ruby color with violet undertones. The nose opens with high-toned aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry, and pomegranate, accented by rose petal, baking spice, and a hint of crushed limestone. On the palate it is lively and energetic, delivering vibrant notes of cranberry, plum, and red cherry with polished tannins and mid-palate complexity from white pepper and blueberry. The finish is sleek and mineral-driven, with lingering black cherry and spice.

Consistently awarded 90–92 points by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and James Suckling across multiple vintages. This wine is sold as a 750ml bottle and is available as a case of 12.
