Mystery Merlot Reserve Yountville Napa Valley 2015

Napa Merlot with 98 points (and tons of other high praise) from the upper echelon of top-tier Napa estates! We are simply stoked to get access to a rare library vintage like this, from a spot that’s garnered tons of fanfare across their entire portfolio. The added bonus of over $150 off puts this 100% Merlot at under $125 a bottle! Make sure you get a move on before it’s all gone!

One glowing critical review called this a “textbook expression of Merlot” with “a pretty, yet sexy style” – and let’s not forget it comes from an estate that’s cracked the 100 point barrier more than a handful of times! This 100% Merlot comes from the stylish, elegant, and boisterously rich 2015 vintage – however, it was a low-yield year, which means excellent fruit and outstanding wines are all the harder to come by, especially at knee-knocking discounts such as this!

Ample black and blue fruits stampede to the forefront – with warm blueberry pie, plum jam, and blackberry coalescing with plush layers of dark chocolate powder, baking spices, rose petals, and licorice. Silky smooth tannins and a gorgeous balance with an enduring finish make this all the more alluring and sexy – and adding to its intrigue that it’s all Merlot when often this wine has some blenders incorporated. We’re justifiably blown away and know you will be, too, when you get a taste of this!

If you simply can’t help but to try to uncover the mystery – here’s a few hints. But do hurry, friends – there’s just no telling how long this might last!

- A visit to Bordeaux in the late 90s inspired this European immigrant to start his own estate, a partnership he undertook with his son.

- The entire valley floor estate was replanted in the early 2000s, with a winery following soon after.

- This 2015 vintage was the first made by a then rising-star winemaker (and now a frequent participant in the 100 Point Club) who was suggested by the one and only Heidi Barrett.

- Most people who know this wine and winery continue to pronounce it incorrectly.

Think you know what (and who) it is? No matter – we know you’ll be ecstatic either way when it shows up at your door! With ground shipping included on two bottles and the new total being less than the usual price for one bottle, you'll want six. Only 20 cases available! Don’t miss this epic chance at a life-altering Merlot from a Napa legend!

PAIRING IDEAS: I’m going for a wood-fired skirt steak with a drippy, fresh chimichurri drizzled all over. Too good!
