Rodney Strong 2003 Merlot

I'm not proud to say (but neither am I ashamed) that, as hot as Marlborough SBs have been over the last several years, I've hardly touched them, I've only had a couple and neither were this wine. $9 seems a terrific price for an NZ SB,

I 'reach out' a lot less than I used to. I get most of my Sauvignon Blanc in Bordeaux blends or from the Loire.

Yeah, I seen the ad(Star Ledger) again . This time I took it with me! Brom, I forget if you like Sauv. Blancs. I had the Nobilo Sauv. Blanc($9 at TW) and liked it. Have you ever tried theirs. Very different from usual Blancs that I have(usaully from CA).

Brom, it's the same one: Sonoma County. I thought I saw it in an ad in the paper for "Total Wines" for $12.77.

Did this wine have any other designation than "Merlot"?

I've had their Sonoma COunty Cab't Sauvignon several times, always enjoyable, but I recall I pay in the $20 range.

"Very nice wine at $13" Sweet.

We had this Merlot at dinner with some relatives. Very nice wine at $13. Had some smoke aroma and chocolate. Also, nice and chewy. It went really well with my tender veal and mushroom dish.

Save your cash($8.00) on this one. Thin and tasteless.

Another good winery from Chile is Casa Lapostolle. I've had their 03 Merlot and was amazed with the wine quality. I think the winery is owned by the great Granddaughter of the founder of Grand Marnier. Interesting? Anyway, try the wine.

Thought it was a interesting wine. I opened it and had a glass and it seemed not as well balanced as I thought it would. After an hour I had another glass and noticed that the taste had improved and it seemed more even. I recommend decanting it and letting it sit a while. ***

Looking for Twomey

Julia, I am here in the Memphis area and Twomey is available here. About $65 I think.
