Robert Hall 2013 Meritage (Paso Robles)

Country: US /
Variety: Meritage California
Winery: Robert Hall / Paso Robles

This blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 20% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec shows umami-driven notes of beef char and campfire on the fairly tight nose, along with condensed violets and black cherry. Grippy tannins contain the palate, where layers of herbs, black fruits, asphalt, roast-beef char and blueberry pie show strongly.
