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.

I am not leaving if She orders this merlot. I really liked this big wine at a small price. I will buy more if I get an order together while this is available.

Just freakin wonderful...
Best Merlot value for the money we've ever had the privilege of drinking. We keep buying more. It was a great sister wine to the 2015 Paicines Cab , which unfortunately is sold out. We'll keep buying this until it runs out too.

Great Merlot
Love this Merlot! Great right out of the bottle, even better if you let it open up. Big flavor and body with lots of tannins. I need to order more!

Another Winner!
Every time I place an order, I add in a little more of this one, and I'll keep doing it until it's gone. This drinks like a wine 3x the price.

Our Go To CH wine
It was well worth purchasing another case of this wine to fill a few empty spot in the rack. Bottles seem to disappear quickly.
