Canyon Oaks 2005 Merlot California

Not a bad one. In fact, for $4, better than some Merlots I’ve tasted. It would be interesting to see if this wine improves in a year or two...

It’s got a clear bright ruby-violet color with some wine structure. Couple that with some nice blackberry and berry notes a balance and finish and you’ve got a Merlot that could be worth drinking everyday. I wonder how it would rate against “Two Buck Chuck”?

Good. Tasty. Goes very well with strawberries and chocolate. And of course the tasty nymphs that like those types of things…

Canyon Oaks Merlot

I've tried both the Canyon Oaks and Charles Shaw Merlot and the Canyon Oaks is quite a bit better.
