Benziger Merlot 2001
Sonoma County, California, United StatesMike Benziger hates cherry popsicle/green tea merlot which explains his style. Look for a peppery, spicy, clove, coffee, black cherry nose with some light barnyard and cedar streaks. The styling is soft and round, the structure velvety. Ripe cherry, peppery, leather, mocha, plum and spicy dill flavours with a savoury, gamey, pudding finish. Good acidity and well balanced; made for current consumption or over the next 3 years. The fruit is a 60/40 mix of Dry Creek, Alexander Valley and Sonoma /with Carneros.Tasted: 18 May 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $37.95 | 750ml | |
