Bollini Merlot 2017 Review
Here, for your drinking pleasure, is one of the best affordable Merlots on the market. It’s from Northern Italy, where this grape thrives, it’s hand harvested for quality, it sees stainless steel and used oak, it’s under screw cap and it’s damn delicious. The wine is clean, aromatic, and juicy with plum and cherry fruit notes as well as some savory pepper hints. This wine is all about the crowd and your pantry. It is the wine that will please anyone, anytime 24/7/365 and a wine you can afford to have on hand and at the ready. Merlot can be great when it is treated well and here it definitely is.
