Intertwine Merlot Oakville Napa Valley 2013
About the wine
Top Napa Red - premiere Oakville vineyards
- A sumptuous, layered red blend that is predominantly made with Oakville Merlot, one of Napa's hallmark appellations. This is the good stuff that normally comes in a $40+ bottle heavier than a bowling ball.
- But Bridget is our Oakville queen. She grew up there and knows everybody and she got a great deal on this amazing fruit. A little trust goes a long way in wine country.
- Small prestigious vineyards mean exclusive, small volumes so this wine might be out before the holidays.

Meet the winemaker - Bridget Raymond
Years Angel-funded: 2013-18
- Bridget was born and raised in the heart of Napa Valley, strolling through vineyards, foot stomping grapes, and having grape fights with her brother.
- Wine country childhood memories aside, she's also perfectly situated to know where all the best vineyards are, and she's got the connections to get her hands on the best fruit. These days, she owns Courtesan Wines, producing rich reds from the heart of Oakville.
- With Angel funding, Bridget had a blast introducing wine drinkers around the world to the Napa wines she loves. It's amazing what a real Napa native can do in the region!
