2008 Black Ridge Vintner’s Reserve Merlot – $9

The Black Ridge Cellars Vintner’s Reserve Merlot, is one of those wines you don’t expect much from. The folks who make the wine don’t bother to mention much about the wine on their website. Where the grapes are grown, how the wine was made, the simple things are not mentioned, probably because those details are not all that interesting. There is nothing to make the Black Ridge Merlot stand out, except the price is right and it tastes great. For an everyday wine, that can be enough.

This Merlot has the smell of raspberries and herbs. Full of fruit and medium-bodied with a nice soft finish. Grilled meats – especially BBQ chicken – would be a perfect match.
