  standard, not objectionable, not exceptional - 10/27/2007
I would not buy this wine again
here's the deal. ordered two bottles. Was looking for something good, which a WS90 usually denotes. it's not quite there. I agree with the previous reviewer that there is little complexity. It's probably still a good value for 10 dollars but we can do a lot better if you just throw five to seven more dollars in the pot. Skip this one if you can afford to.

A Customer - Mtns of Western NC & SW FLA
Have avoided the current crop of cheapo to expensive ubiquitous Merlots of past few years, but being a Columbia Crest "value" fan, I found this Merlot to be on the mark. And, a very good price for a wine that will beat a large portion of the more expensive boutique merlots. 6-'07
A Customer - Ohio
Wow! I'm not a Merlot fan, but this one rocks!
A Customer - Virginia
This is a very good Merlot - and affordable for every day drinking!
A Customer - Lake Jackson, Texas
A nice tasty wine. Bouquet had sandalwood overtones, almost like incense. Flavour was typical for Merlot, nothing outstanding, which makes this wine a good table wine. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would buy more of this Merlot.
A Customer - Naples, FL
Smooth, velvety fruit - a classy wine at a great price.
A Customer - Sacramento, CA
I usually drink Cab - but this wine is so delicious at such a reasonable price I always add a bottle or three to my order.
A Customer - New York
I'm not a fan of Merlot (prefer Cabs), but thought I would try this after reading such great reviews. I was disappointed, to me this was just another Merlot with little complexity.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
