Country: US / Traditional
Variety: Merlot New York
Winery: Comtesse Thérèse / North Fork of Long Island
Wonderfully rich with lush dark chocolate and espresso notes, this is another lovely, highly drinkable Merlot from Comtesse Thérèse. There’s a good amount of charred oak, but it’s integrated seamlessly with concentrated black plum and berry flavors. The finish is long, and accented by pleasant astringency of walnut skins and tobacco.
