Sonoma County, California, United StatesTypical Benziger merlot (sans cherry popsicle). Look for cedar, spicy, black olive, tobacco, dill, barnyard, coffee nose. Round, supple, elegant style with cedar, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, smoky, black cherry, spicy, tea flavours with a dill, olive finish. A bit dry and tight but it has some elegance. Wait another year for perfect maturity.Tasted: 08 April 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
