William Hill Estate Winery Coastal Collection Merlot 2017 Review
This is a quick grab-and-go if you see it and are in a hurry to a casual get-together. It’s not for wine and book clubs, but for those larger soirees with a wine table. It’s pretty balanced, oaky and spicy; it won’t raise eyebrows but also won’t offend.
