Vivác Winery 2007 Merlot (New Mexico)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot New Mexico
Winery: Vivác Winery / New Mexico

The nose is a pleasant harmony of dark, ripe fruit, espresso grinds and carefully charred French oak. Coffee and cigar box notes carry through the palate as well, marrying with fresher red-fruit flavors. There’s quite a bit of tannin to grapple with still, but overall, it’s a pleasant medium-bodied red.
