Starmont Winery, although not open to the public, was open to Carneros Harvest Passport holders today and that was where we started our winery tour. Starmont Winery is located on Stanly Lane, right off the Carneros Hwy at Highway 29 in Napa. Starmont and Merryvale wines were being poured at the Carneros location today by Starmont Winery's Vineyard Manager, Remi Cohen.



Starmont Winery in the Carneros region of Napa had a cheese platter, figs, strawberries and goodies from Whole Foods Market for us...yummy! We tasted five different Merryvale and/or Starmont wines from the Napa Valley and Carneros regions:

- 2008 Starmont Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc ($18)
- 2007 Merryvale Carneros Chardonnay ($35)
- 2008 Merryvale Carneros Pinot Noir ($35)
- 2007 Merryvale Napa Valley Syrah ($35)
- 2006 Merryvale Napa Valley Profile ($135)

I thoroughly enjoyed Merryvale's Sauvignon Blanc and the Chardonnay, but the real winner was the Profile, a Bordeaux blend (80% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) that ended up being my absolute favorite wine of the Carneros Harvest Passport Experience!
