title: Waters Crest 2013 Grand Vin Merlot (North Fork of Long Island)
description: Fleshy and unctuous in flavor yet tautly structured, this neatly balanced Merlot offers loads of bright cherry and raspberry flavors layered into wisps of toast, spice and cedar. Its brisk puckery style makes it an ideal dinner wine. Fine-grained but persistent tannins on the finish suggest ageability well into the 2020s.
