Varietal Composition: 89% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon
Stout Vineyard is located at approximately 1,700 feet in the Howell Mountain appellation–one of the Napa Valley’s most sought-after, ultra-premium winegrowing regions. As a result of its elevation, topography, soils and climate, Howell Mountain consistently produces a dark, dense and structured Merlot displaying rich wild berry and herb characteristics. In keeping with its mountain origins, this wine is supported by ample tannins, yielding a complex, age-worthy expression of Merlot.

Winemaker Notes
This beautifully structured mountain-grown Merlot draws you in with aromas of brambly red raspberry, pomegranate, cranberry pie and graham cracker. On the palate, elegantly polished tannins frame complex layers of red currant, chocolate-covered caramel, sweet baking spices and wet stone minerality as they build to a long, luscious finish.
