'98 Sterling "Three Palms" Merlot

[Drew]

Another forced tasting. Really weak flavors, one dimensional and unexiting. The rep sez will retail for about $45! I won't be buying!
Nothing about this wine would tempt me to buy.

Hello! Drew, it's a CA Merlot. Watcha spect?

I've been hugely disappointed in the quality of California Merlots lately. Actually, the last one I really remember being impressed with was the 1990 Arrowood, and that was back in 1993.
