Baron Herzog California Merlot
Winery: Baron Herzog Wine Cellars Year: 2001 Type: Red Country: USA (California) Grape Variety: Merlot Note: Alcohol: 13.5% Mevushal: Yes Date Reviewed: 6/29/06
Color: 2 (of 3) Note: A medium ruby color, but it's too thin and shallow looking.
Aroma: 5 (of 7) Note: It smells of oak, wild berries, some blackberries and cherries. That sounds like it should be good, but there's also a medicine scent that shouldn't be there and it loses points.
Taste: 7.5 (of 10) Note: The Herzog Merlot is dry and has a good amount of tanins that work on your tongue. But the flavors seem watered down. There are cherries, blackberries and a bit of pepper and tea but it doesn't come together. Disappointing.
Total: 14.5 (of 20)
Food: I had it with spaghetti served with a meat sauce made from ground turkey and mushrooms instead of hamburger. It's better for you! Credit goes to Bubbe for this delicious recipe. The wine, on the other hand could be better. They serve this at a lot of kosher functions (weddings, bar/bat mitzvot, etc.) because it's mevushal and easy to get. Don't let them serve it at yours! Your guests deserve better. After all, you invited them because you like them, didn't you? Then treat them to a better wine!
