Lockwood 2013 Merlot (San Lucas)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Lockwood / San Lucas

Dust, black cherries and a hint of tarragon arise on the nose of this wine from a small appellation in Monterey County. Char and turned black soil power the very dark palate, which also shows a bit of sagebrush and prominent tannins.
