Yellow Tail Merlot

Someone left a bottle from our Christmas party, so we opened this for dinner. Not bad honestly, as much as I have a general disdain for merlot. Single dimensional an unbalanced acid limit it's viability. Not awful on it's own but ok with red meat.

2004 Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Beautiful wine, paired with linquine with portobello mushroom broth (en brodo). This is a very accessible fine italian wine in the $20-25 range. Consistently good producer and readily available here in Denver. It's a tannic age-worthy wine that is full of dark berries, leather, spice and violets. Rating: 89-90
