Trefethen Family Vineyards Merlot is an estate-grown red wine from the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, California. The Oak Knoll District sits roughly halfway between the towns of Napa and Yountville, where cool marine air from San Pablo Bay moderates temperatures and allows for exceptional Merlot development. Trefethen's vineyards are sustainably farmed and among the largest estate holdings in this prestigious appellation.

This full-bodied Merlot offers aromas of dark fruit, mulberry, and cherry with hints of toasted oak. On the palate it delivers rich cherry and savory herbal notes with a floral mid-palate and round, silky tannins through a long finish. Community reviewers on CellarTracker rate recent vintages around 91 points, with professional reviews from James Suckling and Decanter also noting its structure and elegance. The wine is bold and velvety, with a depth more reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon and the ability to reward additional cellaring.

Each bottle is 750ml. Costco offers this wine by the case (12 bottles).
