Description
2014 is a stellar vintage for this incredibly delicious (and popular) Merlot. 'Los Osos' is the name of the Merlot-loving glacial till, volcanic ash and andesite (a volcanic rock) soils in the vineyard - but what really sets this wine apart year after year is the price. It is one of the greatest values out there. You can expect it be an incredibly expressive wine that delivers impressive smoky dark fruit, raspberry, spice and chocolate tones in an approachable and soft package.

Tasting Notes
Touch of eucalyptus/leafiness. Tastes more like Cab Franc than Merlot (I see they have some Italian clones), bright and zesty and refreshing. Very nice result of cool vintage. Fresh and not bad length, with the oak well moderated. A little chewy in a good way. Special designation: Good Value. Drink: 2013-2015. Score - 16 (out of 20 (Distinguished)).
