I don't remember a straight Merlot in the WildAss line, so this must be a first, and what a great first it is: nicely layered with mocha, blueberry and vanilla all while being well-spiced and pleasantly oaked. This is the Merlot you'll be pouring around the BBQ this summer and for the next 3 or 4.  Price: $16.95 - Rating: ****
