Wine Description
The Story
Producing Merlot is a delicious Shafer tradition going back more than 40 years, when we established our first Merlot vines in 1981. We are pleased to bring Merlot back in this vintage with all its bright, bold elegance.
The Yountville AVA, Shafer's Southern Foothills vineyards located on the rugged lower slopes of Napa Valley's eastern Vaca Mountains, along with other top vineyards sites.
