"Merlot - not so much. I still recall it as a blending grape, which keeps me from getting into mouvedre, carnignon, cab franc, etc. I can only recall a couple of memorable merlots - a Duckhorn, maybe 10 years ago and a Pride 2006 ($60) a couple of weeks ago. Hate to sound like the guy in Sideways, but he's right."

Another person who missed the "joke" of Sideways. The bottle of French wine that the main character coveted and opened at the end..Cab Franc/Merlot. The Merlots haven't been memorable because CA just isn't a great place to grow Merlot.

BTW, I disagree with this statement in a huge way: "Lighter so they lack the complexity of a cab or even a good zins" but we can argue that one later!
