Maddalena 2011 Merlot (Paso Robles)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Maddalena / Paso Robles

This wine plays with the herbal, slightly green side of the Bordeaux grape, with oregano, thyme and just-cracked pepper spicing up the soft red strawberry and plum fruit on the nose. Dried herbs show strongly on the palate, alongside elderberry fruit and cedar.
