Buena Vista 2009 Merlot (Carneros)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Buena Vista / Carneros

A distinguished Merlot, dark, dry and brooding. Complex, too, with deep flavors of blueberry, mushroom, dark chocolate and anise. The tannins are fairly fierce despite the softness, but the wine doesn’t seem like a longterm ager, so give it a decant before drinking over the next few years.
