Merlot, 2014. Château Cap Blanc
Appellation: Bordeaux, France
Winetasting with Paul Kalemkiarian & Ed Masciana
Our selection is the classic blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot from this area of Bordeaux is much sturdier and more tannic than we find elsewhere. Most would mistake it for Cabernet Sauvignon. Here we find solid, dense and bold flavors of berry and earth, mixed with a touch of saddle leather. Medium tannins finish with a flourish.
