Is Merlot a good wine?
What reviewers say
“If malbecs are your wife, this merlot is that ugly girl from high school that turned out to be hot and called you for a one night stand after 10 years. It makes you begin to question your loyalty to your malbecs.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
At 14 Hands, our winemaker Keith Kenison takes a practical approach to winemaking—really letting the fruit express itself with as few manipulations as possible. Making wines that people enjoy drinking is the ultimate goal, so many decisions are made throughout the winemaking process based purely on taste. In the end result are wines that are smooth and fruit-forward, yet bold and complex.
From Columbia Valley in the United States, 14 Hands Merlot is a red. At $11.54 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the under $15 band.
2,879 Vivino reviewers are calibrated for this bottle, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 3,022 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
