Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Very elegant with long lines of plummy richness and depth. There are enticing notes of tobacco, pepper and cassis in a lovely melange and lengthy finish. Food matches: pasta with bolognese sauce, veal stuffed sausage, buffalo burgers, bean dishes.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

The Oldfield Series Merlot was the first wine to be released under the Oldfield Series tier. Now in its seventh vintage this wine is must have for Merlot lovers. The 2007 vintage’s blend is 92% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Syrah. The varietals were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks prior to being moved into oak barrels. It then spent 18 months in 100% French oak ranging in age from new to two year old. After barrel aging the wine was blended together prior to bottling. It spent 15 months in bottle before its release.
