Country: US / Mosaic
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot California
Winery: Surh Luchtel / North Coast
Opens with light, earthy aromas of berries and oak and a curious waft of autumn leaves, then turns soft and simple in the mouth. It’s a pretty wine, dry and with some good structure, but no special depth. Might improve in the cellar, but it’s a gamble. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. —S.H.
