Vivác Winery 2007 V. by Vivác Single Vineyard Merlot (New Mexico)

Country: US / New Mexico
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Vivác Winery / V. by Vivác Single Vineyard

A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, this has an oxidative aroma that overrides the scents of cassis, blackberry, spiced mocha and vanilla. The medium-bodied palate feels soft and malleable, and it comes with a raisin-like edge. Finishes a bit short.
