What to Expect
Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

A refined, concentrated Merlot from California's Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma. A great value at under $20. Great Merlot has been a hallmark of Mill Creek for over 30 years - Mill Creek's Merlot has even been served at the White House during the Reagan administration. Bill Kreck firmly believes that Merlot is not a blending grape and should be allowed to stand on its own, and this wine supports his assertion.
