This second label of Paso Robles’ Castoro Cellars represents excellent value and the 2017 Raywood Vineyards Merlot is a prime example. You won’t find many wines this good priced below $10. The Raywood delivers lovely plum and blueberry fruit, soft tannins and immediate pleasure at a fantastic price. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
