Yalumba Merlot

[Innkeeper]

2001 Yalumba, Merlot, South Australia ($11.99 New Hampshire Liquor Store). 13.5% alcohol. Red cherries, plums, and iced tea on the nose and upfront. Fairly complex fruit and chewy tannin across the palate, and a nice finish afterward. Great hamburger wine for the summer. Matched with burgers grilled with mesquite smoke and Vidalia onions nuked in OO, along with a salad in blue cheese dressing. Wine went well with all. Give it a shot.

Well, that depends. Does SW mean sissy white or sparkling white. If the latter, I can attest from personal experience that WW is definitely a fan - despite his protestations.
