"I found myself returning to this Merlot again and again, because it's such a good, gentle, easy sipper. It's a pleasure to drink one that's so nicely dry and balanced. Does a great job balancing ripe berry and stone fruits with earthy herbs and spices. Sommeliers and restaurateurs, scoop this one up while you can."

Costco. Mike likes this one. Quite full bodies and plummy but not overbearing. Drinkable.

Un-intimidating, easily drinkable. Try Chilean wines in this price range, may enjoy more.
