Melrose 2013 Baco Noir (Umpqua Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Baco Noir Oregon
Winery: Melrose / Umpqua Valley

Dark, tannic and earthy, this pure varietal wine brings up flavors somewhat akin to Washington’s Lemberger. The sour-cherry fruit is wrapped in broad flavors of forest floor and wet leaves. There’s a bit of a hole in the middle, which might be nicely filled with a good hamburger.
