Thanks for the list, I am looking for a Merlot for this week. I have trouble finding one to my liking and it seems like our palates and budgets are close.

Thanks for the recommendation, Danny. I’ll have to keep my eye out for it.

Correction: I meant the Sonoma County Merlot 2005 by Sebastiani, not Sebastian. Still available and quite the sleeper. Aromas and flavors of spiced dark fruit revealing gracefully restrained power and depth; no rough edges.Head & shoulders above the 2004 Sebastiani Sonoma County, IMHO.

I would add the 2005 Sebastian Sonoma County Merlot to your list–at the top of your list, in fact, at a 90+. It’s very vibrant, fruit forward and complex.
Priced between $12 and $15.

Thanks for the list. Have tried only
3 of the 15. Red Truck being the best of the 3. Will certainly be looking for the other 12.
