Baron Herzog
Clarksburg Merlot
Clarksburg, Central Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a brick rim.
Barnyard on the nose with blackberries, plums, sour cherries, cloves, oak, vanilla, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity, long legs and a nice mouth feel.
Dry and fruity on the palate with cherries, red currants, plums, cloves, oak, vanilla, wood, earth and peppercorn.
Medium finish with grippy,green, bitter tannins and sour cherries.
A very simple Merlot, yet drinkable (if you have to), not smooth at all and unbalanced. Will not buy again.
14% alcohol by volume.

Light-body belies the pleasant red fruits, cedar and soft tannins. Much better than expected.
