    Brutocao 1996 Brutocao Vineyards Merlot (Mendocino)

    This winery's flagship wine hits paydirt with plenty of violet, plum and blackberry aromas and flavors. Drinks rich and dry. The wine has a real personality that must come from this particular vineyard. Such a pretty finish; real quality here.
