Washington Merlot


Independent Producers, La Bourgeoisie - 2010
$15.00

The nose of this wine is so completely chocolate cake, it is crazy.  Soon as my nose is in the glass I want cake, Red Velvet Cake.  The chocolate gives way to dried herbal notes, and dark berries.

On the palate the Red Velvet cake notes continue, with a touch of cedar tossed in, along with dried tomatoes and herbs (Thyme).

This is a luscious merlot, I'm a pretty big fan.  My Merlot heart does belong to another merlot, but this one is right behind it.
