A merlot comfort wine
Posted on Tue, Apr. 29, 2008
2006 Red Rock Winery Reserve Merlot, California: Merlot should be soft and round and smooth, with no hard edges of tannin or acid. Just rich, plummy fruit with maybe a background of black coffee. This one is.
It's 95 percent merlot, with a hint of cabernet sauvignon, petite sirah and syrah added for complexity.
This is comfort wine for comfort food -- cheeseburgers from the grill, meatloaf, chicken stew, macaroni and cheese, pasta with red sauces. It's $12.
