Wines of Substance (DC) Northridge Vineyard Merlot is a premium red wine from Washington State's Columbia Valley, sourced from the Northridge Vineyard on the renowned Wahluke Slope appellation. Produced by winemakers Charlie Hoppes and Greg Lill under the Substance label, this Merlot showcases the terroir of one of Washington's warmest and most acclaimed growing regions.

The Northridge Merlot is medium to full-bodied and richly concentrated, offering complex aromas of red and black fruit compote, candied peel, tobacco leaf, and loamy soil. On the palate it delivers a sweet core of fruit complemented by savory complexity, with a rich and chewy texture. It is well-suited for pairing with roasted meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Available in 750ml bottles, sold in cases of 6 or 12.
