Flora Springs Merlot
Napa Valley Merlot from a family owned St. Helena house.
The story behind Flora Springs
Flora Springs is a family owned winery in the St. Helena area of Napa Valley, and Merlot has been part of its Bordeaux varietal lineup for decades. The estate grows its own Napa fruit and bottles single varietal wines alongside Trilogy, the flagship Bordeaux style blend the house is known for. Merlot sits comfortably in that family: softer than the estate Cabernet, plummy, and built to drink without a long decant.
We have poured Flora Springs for Long Island customers for years, and the Merlot is the bottle regulars come back for when they want Napa weight without Napa tannin. It is a red for Tuesday dinner as much as for company.

Which Flora Springs is right for you?
The Flora Springs Merlot 750mL is $29.99, and for a Napa Valley estate red that is a fair number. The Sauvignon Blanc 750mL is $26.98 and currently out of stock, so ask us to hold or call it in. The Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L is $89.99, also out of stock at the moment, and the magnum is the bottle to grab when you are feeding a table. Prices are what we have on the shelf today, and stock on the two out of stock items changes weekly.
Soft enough for a Tuesday, serious enough to pour for guests.
