Fidelitas 2009 Merlot (Red Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Fidelitas / Red Mountain

Surprisingly, this Red Mountain Merlot is rather light and tart, showing cranberry fruit with a streak of smoke. The tannins are peppery and earthy, with a hint of stem; a European style, with poise and good balance.
