La Jota Vineyard 2013 Merlot (Howell Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: La Jota Vineyard / Howell Mountain

The La Jota and W.S. Keyes vineyards are the sources for this classically styled wine that is intense and alive in minerality. Clove, black pepper and mountains of dried herb are front and center between firm, dusty tannin and oak. The texture is plush and velvety on the palate, with plenty of length on the finish.
