Merlot ‘La Storia’ Alexander Valley

United States, California

Merlot

Dark cherry, plums, a bit of black licorice and herbs. The new oak barrels contribute a touch of vanilla, brown sugar, cocoa dust and toast. On the mouth the wine is almost heavy but balancing the acidity and the tannins well for such a young wine. This is a fine example of the ability of this classic Bordeaux variety to make solid, tasty and age-worthy wines.
