Medlock Ames 2013 Heritage Merlot (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Heritage
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Medlock Ames / Alexander Valley

Made with 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot, this estate-grown wine is made in small lots and offers aromas of baked bread and red fruit from the get-go. The Cabernet shows its presence, and there’s a wealth of bitter, leathery tannin offset by soft, approachable oak.
