Rancho Sisquoc 2012 Cellar Select Meritage (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Cellar Select
Variety: Meritage California
Winery: Rancho Sisquoc / Santa Barbara County

Concentrated red cherry, black tea leaf and a touch of minerality show on the nose of this blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 14% Malbec, 12% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. A line of concentrated blackberry powers the palate, which also offers woody mint and rose-petal flavors.
