title: Coquelicot 2011 Reserve Merlot (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: The intriguing nose presents juicy grape candy, but in a serious way, with black licorice and maduro cigar notes. It's lighter than expected once sipped, but strong flavors of smoked meats and boysenberry fruit touch all parts of the palate.
variety: Merlot
designation: Reserve
