Is Merlot a good wine?
What reviewers say
“A perfect bottle to give someone who says: I'm not drinking any f* Merlot!!! (Which movie reference??) This is my favourite wine from the Starmont winery (so far). Hand harvested grapes. Aged 20 months in 11% new French oak.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Dark with bright cherry, blueberry and currant aromatics on top of coffee/mocha, toast and cranberry. The palate is lush and velvety with good weight and soft tannins. The wine displays great richness, without being heavy or excessive.
Starmont Merlot is an American red from Los Carneros.
