Bargetto 2009 Regan Vineyards Reserve Merlot (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Regan Vineyards Reserve
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Bargetto / Santa Cruz Mountains

This wine displays the aggressive acidity typical of Central Coast Merlots. While it’s rich and dry in raspberry, cherry and red currant flavors, with a fine note of smoky oak, the tartness is central. Pairing this with ham will help tame the acids.
