Personal Review - After discovering that I liked the Merlot grape variety from California last week I decided to go ahead and try another one. I got this bottle of wine. I believe it was 3 times the price of the other Merlot wine I bought so I was definitely expecting a quality product and I got one. It was pretty close to the flavor of the Barefoot Merlot I tried plus a much fuller body, more tannins, and better undertones. I extremely liked the dark chocolate undertone. I would definitely recommend this. This wine got me thinking that I should start branching slowly into more expensive wines.
I ate this wine with a breakfast for dinner meal (bacon, eggs, basically quite a bit of fat) and it worked great.
