An uninspired, easy and simple red. Has just the bare minimum for drinkability. Alright, but not very good.

Smooth and simple tasting Merlot, solid buy at Costco for under $10.

Excellent 2016 Red! The perfect house merlot. Unpretentious and accessible at $3.99 on sale at Costco. It’s the new “$2 buck chuck.” Just double the price. Smooth!

I get this wine at Costco for $5 bucks a bottle. The best $5 a bottle wine you will find!

Nice smell on the nose of blackberry. Clear complexion for a merlot. Plum and raspberry scent from the glass. Medium acidity and light body but very fruity. Medium finish. Not too bad for someone who rarely drinks reds.

Este es un Merlot joven que descubrí en este mes. Altamente expresivo en nariz, aroma a ciruela, goloso, con notas de vainilla. Otro seleccionado para despedir el 2018

Buen Merlot Californiano que con notas a Ciruelas confitadas armonizan excelentemente con nuestra típica hallaca
