Winemaker, David “Merf” Merfeld, blends New World fruit with an old world winemaking style, influenced by Bordeaux’s “right bank,” to create his highly-acclaimed wines. Northstar produces two Merlot-based wines from the Columbia Valley and Walla Walla AVAs, as well as the Stella Maris red blend and extremely limited production bottlings of the blending component varieties that Merf uses as his “spice box” in creating Northstar’s Merlots.
