Merlot Sonoma Valley Estate

Merlot Sonoma Valley Estate Wine Details
Price: $90.00 per bottle

Description: The dominant aromatics on the 2002 Merlot are sweet black cherry, boysenberry and earth. With a bit more time in the glass, sweet oak and Earl Grey tea come forward as well. On the palate, there is a sweet entry with youthful tannins, yielding to hints of roast beef, cocoa powder, Scharffenberger bittersweet chocolate and toasted rye bread. The finish is long, lingering and tapers off with more notes of mixed chocolate. This wine drinks well now, though decanting for a couple of hours allows the Merlot to fully express itself.
