Keenan Winery Spring Mountain Mernet 2011
High in the Mayacamas Range at 1,700 feet above the valley floor, Keenan Winery perfected "Mernet"—a proprietary marriage of Merlot and Cabernet that balances plush fruit with peppery grip. The 2011 blend draws 50% Merlot from the "Mailbox" vineyard with Cabernet from "Big K" and "Upper Bowl," creating an earthy wine with aromas of espresso, black currants, licorice, and underbrush. Medium-bodied with a tight finish, this Spring Mountain wine is built for pairing with well-seasoned meats and has continued evolution ahead.
