Crosby Merlot California 2017 12x750ml 2017 skus_30263618 and mocha from the wine’sNot as dark ruby as your typical merlot,Cabernet. Medium, medium minus tannins for a merlot. Elements of (lighter) blackberry, cherry, raspberry, and maybe plum. Some elements of new world oak, no funk or earthiness. Quite fruit forward. Wine has some age on the rim as its not particularly vibrant youthful. Goes down easy given fruit forward nature.
