Coquerel Family Wine Estates 2009 Merlot (Calistoga)

Country: US / California
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Coquerel Family Wine Estates /

Oddly acidic and hard in the mouth for Merlot, a variety that’s supposed to be soft and silky. You’ll find black cherry flavors, but not enough to punch through the tannins. Doesn’t seem capable of aging, so drink up.
