Merlot is a great under-rated red wine that we should be seeking out, and it’s often a better value than cabernet sauvignon or pinot noir. Today’s expressions are silky, structured and generous—reminding us why Merlot is a varietal to be loved.
Cherries and blackberries meet plums in this juicy, fresh pleasing merlot from Montes. Proof that one need not spend a fortune to enjoy the fruit-forward, soft textured qualities of this varietal. Alpha Merlot, DO Valle de Colchagua, 2020 is a steal at only $25.
