Garré 2010 Private Reserve Merlot (Livermore Valley)

Country: US / Private Reserve
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Garré / Livermore Valley

Earth, mint and blackberry flavors make this full-bodied and firmly-tannic wine both flavorful and eccentric. As the wine sits in the glass for several minutes the aroma become like beef bouillon and the texture on the palate is a bit astringent.
