Degraw Paso Robles Merlot

Paso Robles is considered to be the "Wild West" of California wine, and thus sets up the scene perfectly for this robust and full-flavored Merlot. From land that not long ago was roamed by banditos, cattle ranchers and pioneer families, this concentrated wine features ripe black-red fruit flavors of cherry and plum, along with savory nuances of vanilla, light mocha and tobacco. The tannins, while firm, are well-integrated and provide structure to the plush fruit, and can easily be tamed when accompanied by grilled red meat.
