Reds-Bottle | $20 | Total Wine | I carry good news for those like me who have given up on Merlots because they are too thin and simplistic. This one is different! Rich, bold, robust, full-spectrum flavor. You’ll notice a difference in color as soon as it’s poured. Nose and flavor match. It’s cab-like but different.
What a fabulous website, Graham! It’s visually attractive, easy to navigate, friendly in tone, and free of the bullshit that infests wine writing- thanks! If we ever bought a bottle that costs over $8 and didn’t have a kangaroo or gaucho on the label, we’d check out all your recommendations- perhaps we’ll throw caution to the winds and do it anyway.
Thanks and happy imbibing.
Wow. Went to Total Wine specifically to buy this and it is great. Exactly as Frank describes – a big, bold, merlot. We had it with the last ground beef from a steer purchased at Howard County Fairgrounds, some grilled asparagus and homemade pomme frites (there is a reason to buy a grill with a sideburner). Great Merlot next time someone quotes Sideways to you – give them a glass of this.
