St. Supéry 2009 Estate Merlot (Rutherford)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: St. Supéry / Rutherford

Merlot has never been St. Supery’s strong suit, and this wine shows the winery’s continuing struggle. The cool vintage has produced a very dry, tart wine, with green olive, tobacco and herb flavors alongside the black cherry and oak tones.
