I love the touch of sour cherry on the finish! I'm half way through a bottle and I'm really liking it. It goes really well with the pasta primavera that I made for dinner (bowtie pasta with chicken, zucchini, squash, red bell peppers, in a light tomato cream sauce). <br /><br />I can't believe this wine is only $2.99, and it'll be only $2.69 when I buy 6 or more - so a case comes out to just $32.92. That's ridiculous! If you happen to live in the Phoenix area, just about every F&E I've been in has them at $2.99 and the shelves are stocked full. There are very little tannis in this wine, so I don't expect that it's going to last too long, so I think I'll only buy 1 case of it. I still can't get over that price - $32 for an entire CASE! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-79606213185324682842010-01-13T21:15:39.525-08:002010-01-13T21:15:39.525-08:00Just a small note: the Merlara isn't a Merlot,...Just a small note: the Merlara isn't a Merlot, it's a blend of mostly Corvina (the main grape in DOC Valpolicella reds) and some Merlot. Merlara's actually a DOC in the Veneto region, but that's neither here nor there.<br /><br />So this is a nice fruity Italian red, and the Merlot adds some nice body and plummy depth. Definitely not a typical Cali Merlot, and at ~$3/bottle, well, I'd buy a case.Jim Cahill, CSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132809815311085682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-31213706038976874662010-01-13T18:23:37.105-08:002010-01-13T18:23:37.105-08:00I'm not sure where you are, but the F&E ne...I'm not sure where you are, but the F&E next to my work has CASES of the stuff and they have it priced at just $2.99! I was going to snag a bottle but wasn't sure about it, and being that I don't normally drink Merlot I thought I'd look it up online first. Maybe I'll go back and grab a few bottles to try.
