It is a testament to how much I enjoy wines from this small winery that you would ever find a Merlot so highly rated from the likes of me. That scene in Sideways, yep, that's me. This wine, however, is a wonderful example of terroir driven finesse (and it probably helps that it doesn't necessarily taste like a Merlot).
