2011 Coppola Directors Cut Merlot

Directors cutGood Morning Gentle Readers,

This must be the merlot that TWC imagined that Miles was simply not going to drink. It is insipid, bland, and uninspiring. That's a tough place to be when you're asking upwards of fifteen bucks a bottle.

Now, in fairness, I may have ended up with a bottle that was flawed in some fundamental way, but mostly I think that this Russian River Valley merlot is thin and uninteresting. Your experience may certainly vary as wine enjoyment is as subjective as love. However, there are a myriad of choices out there, many of which are less expensive and more rewarding.

Winemaker Notes

Lush, rich, and velvety on the palate, our 2011 Director’s Cut Merlot delivers a dramatic bouquet featuring briary berries and dark chocolate followed by luscious flavors of black cherries, currants and plums, a hint of allspice, and a spicy oak finish.

Bonus:

 

As Always,

TWC
