title: Y Rousseau 2012 Pépé Cavedale Vineyard Merlot (Moon Mountain District Sonoma County)
description: Named for the producer's French grandfather, who loved Merlot, this 100% varietal wine from a high-elevation site is leathery, meaty and quite debonair. With a scent of bacon grease giving a sense of rustic deliciousness, it's also soft and unctuous on the palate, medium to full bodied.
variety: Merlot
designation: Pépé Cavedale Vineyard
