Geyser Peak 2000 Merlot (Sonoma County)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Geyser Peak / Sonoma County

A bit lean in fruit, in keeping with this problem vintage. Aromas of damp earth, cigar and thyme have just a hint of blackberry. The tannins are very finely ground, and soft acidity makes for a pleasant mouthfeel, but it’s thin stuff.
