Coquelicot 2011 Mon Amour Red (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Mon Amour
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Coquelicot / Santa Ynez Valley

This traditional blend of 36% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec offers the expected aromas of cedar, plums, tobacco, cracked pepper and slight mint. It’s very easy on the palate, with boysenberries and a woody complexity, proving light and tasty.
