Wine of the Week: Red Truck Merlot 2006 (CA) $12

The Red Truck Merlot is a smooth sipping red wine with a good bit of spice and tons of red berry and cherry action on the palate. This Merlot is technically a blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it both definition and a touch of assertiveness. The aroma is all berry with an overlay of mocha. The palate presents a soft approach with plenty of ripe red fruit and sprinkles of spice, followed by an oak-induced finish. Delicious on its own or paired with roasted beef or chicken cuts, grilled veggies, pizza or with tomato based recipes.
