Kokomo Winery Pauline's Vineyard Merlot 2021 Review
Erik Miller and his growing partner Randy Peters are doing great things in Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley. Erik’s precision and skill are a sight to behold like this delicious single-vineyard Merlot. We have been tasting this wine for a few vintages now, and the consistent quality is evident. Peppery blueberry fruit with some soil and balsamic on the nose. The palate is big and deep. The alcohol is prominent but doesn't overwhelm the wine.
