Do you miss Christmas? Doesn’t this bottle look like a Christmas tree wine bottle? I’m trying to do better about taking pictures before all the wine is gone but I obviously failed to do so this time.
I’m not usually a big fan of Merlot but this wine was very enjoyable. For those Merlot fans out there, maybe I just need to spend more time looking for good Merlot, who knows. This one makes me have hope. The Columbia Crest Merlot was very well balanced with cherry and herbal notes. The fruit flavors were very ripe. I also picked up a little bit of spice on the nose and the taste.
