Clos Du Bois
California Merlot
California, USA
‘Hand selected lots’. Smells interesting. Spice rack (more fall than summer, pumpkin over Italian). Bit of red roses too. Damask roses. Flavors are a disaster. Classic CA over-oaked flavor. Barrels in your mouth. Vanilla and all that with little redeeming acid or fruit complexity. They might have had a decent wine, but that oaking ruined it!

Apr 29th, 2024Fav merlot so far. A little on the sweeter side with lots of fruit forward notes.
