Line 39 2009 Merlot (North Coast)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Line 39 / North Coast

This wine’s dark cherry aromas veer into lipstick territory a bit and then the North Coast-sourced Merlot becomes overly tannic and a tiny bit green. Decent for the $10 price tag but not going to convert anyone into Merlot (this one’s got 22% Cabernet Sauvignon blended in as well).
