Doghouse 2006 Merlot California

Submitted by Bob Bacchus on Sun, 2010-02-14 08:38

Not a spectacular Merlot, but serviceable enough.

It’s a clear, bright medium depth violet colored wine with some structure to it. There are some faint berry notes for you nose and more pronounced ones for your taste buds. There’s also some moderate acidity, tannins that aren’t particularly harsh and an OK balance with a short-med finish. More of a sipping wine than a dinner wine.

A better choice might be: 
360 Paul Valmer 2007 Merlot California
Harthill Farms NV Merlot California
