Trinitas 2004 Old Vine Mataro (Contra Costa County)

Country: US / Old Vine
Variety: Mataro California
Winery: Trinitas / Contra Costa County

You might think this was a big Pinot Noir, like a Santa Lucia Highlands, if you blind-tasted it. It’s thick and forward in blackberry, currant and cherry flavors, with a firm tannic structure, and very dry. Shows enough balance to age for up to six years.
