Kenwood 2004 Reserve Merlot (Sonoma County)

Country: US / California
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Kenwood / Reserve

Tasted in October, this still-young Merlot is tannic and jammy. It shows fresh primary fruit flavors of raspberries, cherries and blackberries that are a bit one-dimensional. Give it until mid-2008 to develop some bottle complexity.
