twitterSavvy wine buy: Merlot ‘97
Wednesday, April 19, 2000 | 9:28 a.m.
Max Jacobson
This grape varietal is so hot that prices for it have soared right through the roof, which makes this velvety smooth wine an even more remarkable value. It has lots of body, hints of cassis and ripe berry and that traditional softness people associate with Merlot. The wine is comparable to other Merlots at nearly three times the price, such as Clos du Bois or Robery Mondavi Coastal. You may want to buy several bottles at this price, and pour it as your house red.
Available at Spirits Plus, $5.99, and Lee's Discount, all stores, $6.99.
