- Best Buy
- $14
Run, don’t walk, to buy this wonderful Merlot by the case. An unbelievable buy from Goldschmidt Vineyards, which is doing some of the most interesting things in Sonoma Bordeaux wines, it’s a soft, ripe, complex wine that shows the balance and structure of a far more expensive bottling.

Chelsea Goldschmidt 2011 Merlot (Alexander Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
It’s no disrespect to say this is a great family restaurant-style Merlot. Tens of millions of Americans dig into beef at the neighborhood joint, and they want a good red to drink alongside it. At this price, this is that wine. It’s soft and rich with blackberries, blueberries and chocolate, with a finish of sweet, toasty oak.

Great price on a Merlot this good. Most others would charge $25 or more, but Goldschmidt has held the line. It appeals for the soft tannins and easy flavors of raspberries, cherries, cocoa and sweet, smoky oak. Drink now.

What a wonderful wine for the price. It’s dry, elegant and classically structured, and while the cherry, herb, tobacco and oak flavors finish a bit short, this Merlot shows lots of appeal. It’s a great by the glass pour.

Good price for this smooth Merlot. It’s very frontal in flavor, with a taste of chocolate-covered cherry candy, but it’s dry, with a lingering finish.

A nice Bordeaux style wine for fifteen bucks. It’s dry and firmly tannic, with black currant and cola flavors, and some elegance. Fine now with a steak or chop.
