Market Vineyards 2010 Alpha Merlot (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Alpha
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Market Vineyards / Red Mountain

Alpha is a new offering from Market Vineyards, and boosts the flavor meter past the winery’s excellent, value-priced Benchmark Merlot. Tightly-structured and showing a barrel-heavy mix of dark, toasted flavors, this complex effort brings lead pencil, clove, charred meat and black fruits into play. Enjoy it with your thick grilled steak, or tuck it away until 2020–2022.
