Ken Deis Napa Valley Merlot 2016
About the wine
Top-shelf Napa Merlot from your local hero
This is a classic Napa Valley Merlot from a winemaker with over 40 years experience in the region. Whoa.
Ken traveled the length of the valley to find the perfect fruit for this ripe and rustic Napa staple, harvesting grapes from the cool Carneros region and sun-kissed valley floor.
Not only is this man a Napa legend, he's one of your very first winemakers. Ken's made you Merlot since the very beginning - don't miss your iconic Angel treat!
Best before
This wine should age gracefully for 3-5 years or longer.
Serving advice
A young red wine should be allowed to breathe prior to drinking. Decanting would be best.
Food match
Red meats, roast chicken, hearty dishes and spicy foods.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ken Deis

- Ken has more 90+ scores from Parker, Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast than he can name – there's just too many to count. He's the man behind Napa's greatest hits.
- He'd spent decades working in some of Napa's most prestigious wineries including Joseph Phelps, Flora Springs, and Heitz before becoming Naked's first Napa winemaker. What a LEGEND he's been for you!
- Ken has devoted a lifetime to perfecting his craft, and his wines are the proof. When Ken crafts Cabernet, he delivers. When Ken hankers for Merlot, he nails it. Whatever he sets out to do, you can trust it's flawless.
