A Merlot to Make Winter Fly By

wine of the week: sterling vineyards merlotcanada (Jan.27.12)

What: 2009 Sterling Vineyards Merlot Vintner's Collection
From: California
Price: $14.95
Score: 87/100

This supple, smooth, medium- to full-bodied red has lusciously rich aromas and flavours of black plum and dark berry. It's a perfect winter warmer to pair with hearty meat dishes and long evening talks by the fire. It's Californian sunshine in a glass, just when you need it!
