ne Name: 2004 Swirling Dervish Merlot
Region: Central Coast of California – Livermore, CA
Price Paid: $6 per bottle
Description:
We had the wine on a weeknight to go along with a dinner selection of French Toast with Apples and Cheese. The eye-catching label was the first impression I had when I opened this bottle. Pouring the wine to our glasses, it had a rich color but not quite as dark as some of the more aged merlots. The wine had a fairly rich body and had hints of almond as it is worked around your mouth. Although it doesn’t have the depth of flavors of the northern California merlots, it was a solid dinner wine for the economic price of $6.





My friend send me a link to this blog and I’m enjoying it a lot actually.
