title: Trinchero 2005 Chicken Ranch Vineyard Merlot (Rutherford)
description: Not as successful as the winery's Cabernet, this Merlot is very dry and tannic, with only modest blackberry fruit flavors, but it has a certain elegance. Turns oaky and herbal on the finish. Probably best soon.
variety: Merlot
designation: Chicken Ranch Vineyard
