Funtimes high value obvi new world doing it right for a friendly wine that won’t break you but do you need to be broken? Nah. Silky and plum fun just like unravel your pretentious side.

The ‘13 Broadside Merlot is so dark that only a speck of light gets through. The nose is fabulously deep, with big cassis aromas playing fast and loose with coffee, cocoa, licorice, sage and a puff of campfire smoke. Fruit flavors dominate the palate - blue and black berries, plums and black currants. There is a layer of holiday spice on a layer of chunky minerality wrapped in a lovely acidity and tied up with tannins that are almost as smooth as silk.

2018 vintage. I’m not usually a merlot drinker, so this was just a random trial of a wine that got decent reviews. Fine, but lacks any distinction, so won’t get again

Cola, eucalyptus and black cherry aromas, a lush oaky mouthfeel with bursts of ripe black cherry. A prototypical central coast merlot.

2018 Merlot ~$12 at Costco (2022 01)
Easy, drinkable, structure from start through finish. Will buy more (would def buy many more at $10).
