Italian Merlot from Sorella. $15 on sale. Great terroir in this wine. Let it open in your glass for 15 min.

They must put all the good Merlot juice in the Montiano! Decently structured and varietally correct if a bit rough around the edges, paid $15 should have been $10

One of the best Merlots I've ever had. I break out this wine every time I want impress someone. I call it the Italian stallion. Robust red fruit flavors. Black berry, plum, dark current, tabacco leave, and coca.

2012 vintage. Dark fruit flavors. Dry and light tannins on the finish.
