Jason-Stephens 2011 Estate Meritage (Santa Clara Valley)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Meritage California
Winery: Jason-Stephens / Santa Clara Valley

From the historic Uvas Creek area between Gilroy and Morgan Hill comes this solid bottling that shows black cherry, leather, dust and a slightly green element of oregano and green peppercorns on the nose. The palate is restrained and herbaceous, with elderberry fruit and woody sagebrush flavors.
