Fallbrook Winery, California (United States) Merlot 2012

Jan 27, 2015

By Michael Franz

Nobody could fail to like this wine, which charms on the strength of fresh berry fruit enveloped in gentle acidity and rounded tannins, along with the faintest possible touch of wood.  It isn’t a powerhouse, but neither is it remotely faint; rather, it shows excellent integration and balance in a classically medium-bodied profile, making it exceptionally versatile with food but also great as a stand-alone sipper.  Platinum Award winner at the 2015 San Diego International Wine Competition.
