It's terribly unfashionable these days to admit to enjoying merlot, but I've never been a fashionista. I like red wine, and I like merlot. I especially appreciate a good cheap red wine, and this $6.99 on sale bottle of Columbia Crest Two Vines Merlot was a very pleasant surprise. It was sitting right next to another Columbia Crest Merlot that was awarded 90 points by someone, and was just over $10. I tried both, and this one won, hands down. It is a big fruity merlot, with hints of raspberries and a smooth finish. It is a wine that I'm just as happy sitting around sipping as I am having with a big bowl of pasta. I did both. Try it. If you like merlot at all, you will probably enjoy this one, and your wallet will thank you.
