Fetzer Vineyards
Valley Oaks Merlot
California, USA
This is the house merlot at my local Chedders.... I hadn't ever had it before so I thought I would give it a try. Not a fan. Bit of oak and dry, both I would generally like. The flavor is just blah.
Adding to be never again list.

2002 vintage on June 17 2016 Fantastic tannins and oak smooth and velvety. It laid down well for its age and had a wonderful berry tone

Delightfully fruitful. Surprised that the wine laid down for 8 years and improved with age. Later years not as good.
