16¼/20
Matanzas Creek Merlot 2000
Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe blend is 85/8/4/3 merlot, cabernet, syrah and cabernet franc most of which is Bennett Valley and Carneros sourced with touches of Alexander, Knights and Russian River valleys. Look for spicy, minty, green olive, orange and pepper aromas flecked with vanilla and cherry. The round and moderately rich flavours taste of pepper, olive and leafy tobacco with some weedy, cherry, vanilla on the finish. Good but not particularly fruity. Will need a few years to fill out.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $49.50 | 750ml |
