Edna Valley Vineyard 2014 Merlot (Central Coast)

Country: US / California
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Edna Valley Vineyard /

Rich black cherry, cola, turned earth and smoked meats show strongly in the inviting nose of this bottling from the San Luis Obispo County appellation’s namesake winery. A fine-grained tannic structure kicks off the palate, where smoked blueberry and elderberry meet with leather flavors, all carrying a decent weight for such an affordable wine.
