Product Notes

Snowden Vineyards Lost Vineyard Merlot is a Napa Valley wine that offers an exceptional drinking experience. Made from 100% Merlot grapes, this wine is crafted to perfection, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. The nose is filled with aromas of ripe black fruits, vanilla, and spices, which give way to a rich and complex palate. Full-bodied and smooth, the wine boasts notes of black cherry, plum, and a hint of espresso, with silky tannins and a long, lingering finish. This wine pairs well with steak, lamb, and hearty stews, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or simply for a relaxing evening at home.

About the Winery

Snowden Vineyards

The history of Snowden Vineyards dates back to 1878. At that time, Levi Philander Davis and his wife filed for a 160-acre piece of land under the Homestead Act of 1862. It allowed them to acquire the parcel and plant their first grapevines on the plot in 1878. By 1880, the couple had cleared and prepared 75 acres of orchards of vineyards. After Levi passed away in 1881, his wife, Lucretia, handed over the ownership and privilege of the land to Melchior Kemper. The latter continued to follow the former proprietors and plant vineyards in the cleared areas. BY 1891, he developed 60 acres of parcels that produced Malvoisie, Chasselas, and Zinfandel.
