Wine Details
Pours surprisingly dark in the glass with a nose that is immediate and rich, with plums and coffee quickly followed by a blueberry note. Ripe and open-knit on the palate, with fruit and oak exploding all over the place and then nicely cascading with big-grained tannins in an extravagantly long, persistent finish redolent with ripe fruit and wood.

One of the Central Coast’s best appellations for Bordeaux varietals, the Paicines AVA is a hidden gem found just past the Pinot and Chardonnay vineyards of the Monterey Coast on the other side of the Gabilan Mountains.
Sourced from one of the best-known and well-respected $40+ red programs on the entire Central Coast, Lot 641 is built to the nines – farmed with the utmost of care in the alluvial flows of the San Benito River and made in a ripe, lush-yet-extracted style and aged in over 50% new oak, this “Merlot with muscle” is certain to gather the attention of the most arduous Cabernet lovers.

Great value Merlot
This merlot is beautifully structured. Bold, red fruit aromas on the nose with a long, silky finish. Great wine!

Best Merlot!
I ordered this Merlot in my first shipment but unfortunately they were out for the 2nd time. By far one of the best Merlot I had. Well balanced, smooth, full bodied and elegant wine for every day or for any occasion. Once its available, I'll be on it.

Great bottle of wine!
This is a great bottle of Merlot. Full bodied and very flavorful. I'm not a big red wine drinker but this one was very enjoyable.
