Thomas Fogarty 2004 Lexington Meritage (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Lexington
Variety: Meritage California
Winery: Thomas Fogarty / Santa Cruz Mountains

Oaky and tannic, this Merlot-based Bordeaux blend feels tough and dry right now, although it does have deep touches of blackberry jam. Might soften and sweeten with some time in the bottle.
