We belong to both Hendry and Rombauer wine clubs. From a tour perspective, I would choose Hendry. Very interesting walking in the vineyard, and tasting the same grape grown in different areas (blocks as they call them). Wine prices are reasonable.
For merlot I would schedule an appt at Robert Keenan. They are on Spring Mtn Rd outside St. Helena. They are well known for their merlot and cab, and have some nice chardonnay as well. Prices are mid-range, and their wine ages very well.
