Joel Gott Merlot 2017
California, United StatesThere is a bit of Napa Valley merlot mixed into Central Coast and Lodi fruit, but every bit helps lift the wine above ordinary. The attack is rich with deep black cherry, milk chocolate, and espresso. The critics hate what the public likes, and I think this wine delivers what the public wants with their ribs or chicken and in an affordable price range. The wine was aged in 25% new French oak and 75% 2 year old American oak. Ready to drink.Tasted: 24 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
