Wasn't it a bottle of Cheval Blanc that Paul Giamatti's character was drinking in the closet at the end of that movie (Merlot/Cab Fanc blend?)
Merlot's grown around here (Washington state) are often bigger than cabs. Of course it depends where the fruit is grown, but they have muscle, intensity, and character. It really can be an amazing wine.
I try not to preach too much, but I do believe that WA is one of the greatest places in the world to grown and make merlot. And the pendulum is starting to swing back....I tried to make enough this year to do a small tasting room only Merlot to see how it goes.
