- Producer: Longboard Winery
- Location: Sonoma, California
- Year: 2015
- Type: Red
- Price estimate: $35
- Tasting notes: Opaque prune color with a tint of brown at the edges. Nose has notes of leather, metal and compost. (Yes, it was not my favorite smelling wine). Taste of herbs and cherry with a note of fresh tobacco. Medium long finish.
- Conclusions: Not bad, but also not my favorite. Think it needs another year or two before it will be fantastic.
- Notes: I love a good Merlot and given all of the other wine we’ve had from this winery, I was very excited. Mildly disappointed, but I really do think a year or so will help and it has the potential to be a fantastic wine. The depth is there but it’s still hiding.
