NO BRAINER MERLOT SONOMA COUNTY 2019

Coming from the Dry Creek Valley region in Sonoma, the 2019 Merlot Dry Creek has a solid bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, hints of leather, Asian spices, and a touch of tobacco. This pleasure-bent, up-front, medium-bodied Merlot has soft tannins, tons of charm, and would be a heck of a house red to enjoy over the coming 3-5 years or more.
