title: Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards 2013 Merlot (Finger Lakes)
description: Long maturation in French oak lends a distinctly nutty, smoky tone to this brambly berried Merlot. While bold in body and a touch warm in alcohol, its ripe black-fruit flavors are sharpened by cranberry acidity and firm, penetrating tannins. A hint of cocoa powder lingers on the finish.
variety: Merlot
