Oak Farm Vineyards Estate Grown Merlot 2017 Review
If you dig the exclusivity of ordering from the winery, and are a fan of big, oaky red wines that will pair with a big steak or cigar, then this is a bottle you should get to ordering. It has a significant amount of oak, and the alcohol wafts into your brain at first sniff. The merlot part of the wine is a smooth, silky palate with a soft finish. It’s just the alcohol that will bring the thunder here.
