Arietta Hudson Vineyards Merlot 2006 (750ml/12) 2006

Deep ruby-red. Complex nose melds black and red fruits, licorice, minerals, dark chocolate and dried herbs. Smooth and creamy on the palate, with good weight but also excellent energy.

This lush, sweet blend tightens up toward the back, finishing with noteworthy breadth and substantial dusty tannins.
