10 Best Merlot in Sonoma & Napa Valley!

Matanzas Creek Winery Tasting Room

You had me at Merlot Matanzas Creek Winery! A recent visit to this fabulous Bennett Valley Winery had us singing their praises. They are a boutique style winery that produces limited quantities of top quality wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. But their must try signature wines are their Merlots, Merlot blends & Sauvignon Blanc ... over 18 varieties to try of those wines combined alone (while supplies last ofcourse)!

Matanzas Creek Wines, Bennett Valley California

They have the most beautiful lavender gardens to visit in the summer time too!

Don’t let the current Shelter in Place keep you from bringing quality wine country Wines to your home. Be sure to check out these delicious Sonoma & Napa Valley wines you won’t find in the stores. They have the essentials to accompany delicious dinners at home or just as an evening glass enjoyed alone.
