Cookies & Cream 2010 Merlot (California)

Country: US / California
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Cookies & Cream /

One of a string of great values made at Terravant near Santa Barbara. Attractively oaky, it’s full-bodied, full-flavored and just tannic enough to make it a good pairing for rich meat or cheese courses. It is deep in color, with a slightly tawny rim. It smells like wood smoke and grilled bread, tastes deep as blackberry and delivers cherry flavors that linger on the finish.
