Medlock Ames, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) Merlot 2013

Aug 3, 2017

By Marguerite Thomas

This is a wine where power and delicacy dance gracefully together.  With its dark, inky color and vibrant floral-tinged aroma “Heritage” delights before it even hits the palate.   Flavors are dominated by the zip of wild blackberries mingling with hints of chocolate and espresso, plus an underpinning of earthiness.  This Merlot blend includes light touches of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. 2013 was yet another glorious growing year in California.
