Wine of the Week: Blackstone Merlot (California) $9

Monday August 8, 2005
The Blackstone Merlot is a rich red wine, with an almost creamy texture. This Merlot has a flavor profile that is brimming over with ripe fruit flavors of plum and blackberry covered with a splash of vanilla - all perfectly rounded out with soft, squishy tannins. The Blackstone Merlot is exceptionally easy to find, well-priced and is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Pairs well with salmon, herbed chicken and a variety of pasta dishes.

Was introduced to Blackstone Merlot about two years ago at a small, out of the way New Jersey restaurant. It is all that I drink now. Rich flavor, no after-taste and very smooth. Cannot seem to find anything else that delights me as much as this inexpensive Merlot.

Wow! Blackstone Merlot is awesome wine.
If the rest is as good as the 2003 Merlot I had last night I’ll be hooked for life.
