If your going to Napa there are a couple of places you will want to check out - and the Consentino Winery is definitely one of them.

Cosentino Winery produces approximately 12,000 cases of wine per year, handcrafted from the wineries’ Yountville and Pope Valley Estates as well as from many of the same “Estate” grape sources that Mitch has maintained throughout the Napa Valley for nearly 20 years. Cosentino Winery’s stellar vineyard sources and relationships are a major factor in sustaining its quality and consistency.

If you get a chance to do a tasting - definitely have a blend of or the full Merlot. A little bit about it from the makers:

Cosentino Winery’s estate Merlot is grown on 3.5 acres directly behind the Winery and is well regarded as some of the most renowned and expensive Merlot produced in The Napa Valley. Although the majority of the estate Merlot’s harvest is often blended in Cosentino’s most popular meritage wines, it is also sometimes produced on its own in very limited amounts as “The Estate Merlot”. The Cosentino “Estate Merlot” is a very rare release and is only produced when growing conditions for the year are absolutely perfect. In the last 10 years Cosentino Winery has released only four vintages of The “Estate Merlot”; ’97, ’99, ’01, and our last release, 2002 was released in June 2005.
