San Simeon 2011 Estate Reserve Merlot (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Estate Reserve
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: San Simeon / Paso Robles

Dense and luxurious aromas of oak-laden red currants, blueberry, peppercorns and melted dark chocolate greet the nose on this hearty bottling. The flavors are lighter than the nose suggests, yet the silky texture evolves quickly to deliver plenty of espresso bean, vanilla, blueberry and blackberry elements, all clinging to a strong tannic structure.
