Medium to deep-garnet colored with a hint of purple, the 2011 Girt by Sea Cabernet Merlot is scented of blackcurrants, black plums and cedar with hints of Mediterranean herbs and pencil lead. Medium-bodied in the mouth with firm, chewy tannins overshadowing the herbal and black berry flavors, it finishes medium to long and a little astringent. Drink it now to 2017+.
