With a bouquet filled with chocolate brownies and s’mores, Hourglass has once again produced one of the most thrillingly decadent Merlots in Napa. This is a wonderfully delineated wine that offers layers of black cherry, plum, spice box, and chocolate. This wine continues the trifecta of amazing vintages that is 2012, 2013, and now, 2014. Enjoy anytime over the next 7-8 years.

Hourglass Winery

Hourglass Wine released their first vintage in 1997 and until recently, their entire production was from a single 4-acre vineyard just north of St. Helena. The Smith Family have lived in the Napa Valley since the mid 1960’s and today Hourglass is owned by Jeff Smith and his wife Carolyn. Jeff’s father was a real estate developer and had the foresight to recognize that people would be captivated not only by the scenic beauty of the Napa Valley but also by the wines produced from this region.
