Guenoc
California Merlot
California, USA
From 1888 to 1906 the Guenoc Estate was owned by actress and vintner Lillie Langtry, who vowed to make the finest claret. Today, the George Watts' portrait of Lillie Langtry has become the famous cameo trademark of Guenoc wines. A blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot. Deep red with big red fruit aromas and pepper spice. On the palate cherry and tart raspberry flavors with some vanilla spice. Tannins are a bit harsh and a little too hot with an alcohol burn. Pass, not worth it. Tasting Sample.
