Country: US / Pauline’s Cuvée
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Atalon / Napa Valley
Made from a majority of Merlot rounded out by other red Bordeaux varieties, this wine leans savory, featuring mushroom and leather within a suggestion of Martini olive water. The fruit is more shy, revealing black currant at best, with a flat, ghost-like finish.
