Oak Grove 2006 Reserve Merlot (California)
-
$8
Oak Grove has a near-perfect record of Best Buys, and this ’06 Merlot continues their streak. It’s a dry, smoothly tannic wine, with classic flavors of red and black currants, cherries, violets, herbs, cedar and spice that are wrapped into fine, firm tannins. Great by-the-glass restaurant Merlot at this price.
