title: Fidelitas 2008 Merlot (Red Mountain)
description: Tightly wound, this young Merlot, from a blend of Red Mountain vineyards, has a steely spine and muscular tannins. The fruit is a bit subdued at the moment, but there is a clear sense of structure, verticality and depth. Notes of graphite and earth accent the tart red fruits. Give this one plenty of decanting.
variety: Merlot
