Staff Pick Notes

Les Vacances de Monsieur Merlot just means "the vacation of Mr. Merlot." I think of this as kind of a break or a little jaunt for your palate, because this wine is so yummy and refreshing.

All that, and the wine is yummy, too! Here the classic old world Merlot shines, bright (not stewed) fruit with the telltale cassis notes combines nicely with a herbaceous element that never feels too green or unripe.
