Sculpterra 2012 Estate Merlot (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Sculpterra / Paso Robles

Leather, dried cherries, plums, dark chocolate and sagebrush aromas are woven into a decent if not entirely lively nose. Lots of chopped fresh and dried herbs arise once sipped, along with gravel, black fruit and sticky tannins.
