All of youse' guys can now trash your Cline merlots. This hummer at under 10 bucks is not good or great, IT'S Spectacular!!Pure merlot fruit is the name of this baby and if there be eeny wood involved in it it was the baskets that brung the fruit to the crusher. Silky entry, a solid mid-palate feel, and for the price one Tush-Kickin'finish. Make sure you try this sucker. I don't think my palate was that far off this week-end. WW

I actually saw this at the local establishment recently where I make my purchases. Wasn't familiar with the brand name but will jot this down for future reference. Great price. I'm a big fan of Merlot.

I picked it up the other night and will have to agree. Fine juice. My sister's boyfriend (who I am getting hooked on wine) loved it.

PS-Baskets? They probably use automated picking machines, so not even any wood there.

The weiner strikes again! Thanks, Bubba, I always need a good party wine. We hosted a 52 person BBQ yesterday that would make Gil proud (and he is the king of BBQ). Those suckers put the hurt on two cases of my wine and a keg of beer, not to mention 40 pounds of smoked ribs!!

Good rec WW. I set up a 'tasting' at work so we could pop a couple bottles...as smooth as advertised & approval from the crowd. However, since smoke was the first aroma out of the bottle, I'd say those Weener tasters been tainted by all that Calif. Cab [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] Decent stuff nonetheless...had me searching the office for a stray steak. Thanks. cp

A belated thanks for the coronation, Bucko. That was quite a crowd you had; 52 people rippin' through 40 lb of smoked ribs and two cases of wine, plus a keg of beer! Definitely my kind o' party!

A resounding second (third, fourth) to this one. Tried it a couple nights ago. Great everyday drinker.
