Cosentino 2012 The Poet Meritage (Napa Valley)

Country: US / The Poet
Variety: Meritage California
Winery: Cosentino / Napa Valley

This Cab-driven Meritage offers a heavy presence of tobacco leaf on the nose and palate, as well as cedar, both built around smooth, refined tannins. Then well-integrated blackberry, tar and black cherry take over, with the finish awash in dried herbs.
