Wine Skeptic

Lupine Hill Merlot 02

Not sure if I already mentioned this wine, but it was another half off thing, so around 8 bucks. This is what makes me ill about the Merlot-Sideways thing. Or perhaps ill is not the case, Merlot can be completely profound, as in this leathery inky, nicely aged (02) effort. And of course Merlot and Bordeaux go hand in hand. So for a lovely burgundian effort, give this a try, at 17 bucks though, the finish goes hot and crazy, but starts out lovely. For half that, its a real treat.
