Country: US / Private Reserve
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Château Julien / Monterey County
Nice to see such a nice Merlot from Château Julien, their best ever. It does what Merlot should, being dry and lush, with complex sour cherry, currant, herb, cocoa and spice flavors wrapped into smooth tannins. A lovely wine for drinking now.
