An inexpensive, good Merlot from Monterey County. Bocage also makes a Chardonnay that is similar in that both wines have minimal oak treatment. For $11 you get an honest bottle of ripe, fruity somewhat earthy wine that goes well with food, which is a nice change as often Californian wines seem to be made with cocktail hour in mind rather than dinnertime. This wine is a little harsh and the oak stands out a little more than this taster would like but for the price it’s a solid choice and along with Bocage Chardonnay, a perennial dinner guest at my home.
