A pretty #gsmblend from Merkin Vineyards / Caduceus (35%-35%-30%) - rose floral aromatics plus cherry and classic GSM spice. Sour cherry, some sweet fruit, soft tannins. A well made wine by JM Keenan.

High acid, low tannin. Fruit forward and has picked up some minerality from the concrete aging.

Definitely pulling for JMK and his AZ wine efforts but this is not for me. Too sweet.
