Winemaker's Notes:

This 1999 Merlot has a wonderful bouquet of cherry and plum aromas. The mouth explodes with berry, mushroom and wonderful fruit. The finish is fruit, fruit and more fruit with a touch of oak tannins. This wine pairs well with any of your favorite meat dishes or hearty pasta sauces. Enjoy!

Alcohol: 14.0%

My Notes:

About Stonegate Winery:

The mid-1970s saw a boom of determined winemaking families staking new ground in the Napa Valley and making wines of great distinction. From that era, Stonegate became synonymous with universally heralded Napa Valley Cabernet and Chardonnay.

A partnership of wine pros with a rich history of viticulture, a deep knowledge of microclimates, optimal winemaking, and an effective sales team strengthen the Stonegate legacy as a brand indistinguishable from the fine reputation of Napa Valley wines.
