Almaden Merlot 5L

Velvety, Fruit-Forward California Red in a Convenient 5L Box

Enjoy smooth, easy-drinking red wine anytime with Almaden Merlot 5L. Produced by one of California's most historic wineries, this classic Merlot showcases rich fruit flavor and a supple texture that wine lovers appreciate. Packaged in a generous 5-liter box—the equivalent of nearly seven standard 750ml bottles—it offers unbeatable convenience and value for entertaining, family dinners, or casual evening sips.

Equipped with Almaden’s vacuum-sealed Wine Tap, this eco-friendly box prevents oxygen from reaching the wine, ensuring your final glass tastes just as fresh as your first for up to 6 weeks after opening.
