Monticello Vineyards 2011 Estate Merlot (Oak Knoll District)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Monticello Vineyards / Oak Knoll District

Very dense and eminently intriguing on the nose, this wine shows aromas of turned earth, black olive, concentrated strawberry and gravel. Sagebrush and tarragon power the tip of the palate, which emerges into dense yet restrained blueberry and black cherry, all presented in a very appealing way.
