This normally excellent-for-the-price Merlot has hit a vintage slump. It is as if the winemakers identified everything people love about this wine and turned everything up to 11. It is big and thick, like chewing through a loaf of stale bread. It has the acidic sweet jamminess of a Lodi Zinfandel circa 2003. While still only 13.5% alcohol, it still leaves the palate feeling dry and slightly sticky.

Like the Germans always say “if you can drink ram’s piss, fuck, you can drink almost anything.” This is much better than that. I’m just saying.
