Comments: Columbia Crest wines are some of my favorites year after year because of a consistency of quality at a low price point! Excellent QPR on this wine. Although merlot has been recently criticized for its universal appeal and easy drinking qualities as not a "serious" wine, this wine might serve to disabuse the critics and show why so many wine drinkers continue to enjoy the merlot based wines. This particular variety and vintage has very classic merlot color and flavors and is great for just relaxed quaffing alone or a perfect accompaniment to pork and barbecue dishes. At this price level, it is an excellent every day wine for those that love medium bodied red wines.
