Greenwood Ridge 2006 Estate Bottled Merlot (Mendocino Ridge)

Country: US / Estate Bottled
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Greenwood Ridge / Mendocino Ridge

This is a big, ripe, distinctly New World Merlot that shows off its terroir to perfection. A long, sunny growing season has given explosive currant, blackberry jam and mocha flavors, while cool nights have preserved vital acidity and firm tannins. Drink now, with grilled steak topped with a blue cheese and brown butter sauce.
