Merlot!!!!

Posted by mkuller on December 19, 2014 at 08:33:48:
...last night my wine tasting group of 6 tried 6 merlots blind.

Lowest points is the winner (ranked 1 for the one you like best through 6).

6. 31pts - 2010 K Stoneridge Vineyard Washington $49 (bottle may have been bad)

5. 27pt - 2011 Stags Leap Napa $32

4. 24pts - 2010 Falesco Umbria (Italy) $16 (90pts Cheap Wine Review)

3. 19pts - 2011 Chateau Taillefer Pomerol (France) $22 (Costco)

2. 15pts - 2012 Whitehall Lane Napa $20 (90pt WS) - (my wine and first choice)

1. 10pts - 2012 Decoy Sonoma $22 (my second choice)

Interesting to taste merlots from a number of different areas and find them all to taste fairly similar.

The Decoy was a big favorite - I could recommend the top 3 but it didn't really change my opinion of merlots.
