description: This one-wine brand was minutes away from folding a year ago, but a drop in price and a series of superb vintages for Washington Merlot made some great juice available. Unlike most Merlots under $20, this one is not just light and fruity. It offers rich, true flavors of ripe cherries, followed by layers of milk chocolate, toast and spice. Unfortunately, although 2,800 cases were made, distribution is limited to the West Coast.
variety: Merlot
