Castle Rock 2013 Merlot (Central Coast)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Castle Rock / Central Coast

Plump blueberry and blackberry fruit meet with crushed slate and root-beer notes on the nose of this widely available bottling. It’s a bit thin in body and a tad sweet-leaning, but shows caramelized black fruit and rocky earth on the palate.
