In my recent search for Adelaida, I went on a wine-shopping spree at Bristol Farms, determined to try other wines outside of the staple 6-7 varietals that I usually get, so I splurged a little bit and picked up the Provenance 2005 Merlot from Napa Valley. It got rated fairly high, and I was excited to try it.
I have to say, I was certainly not disappointed.
This little bad boy is packed with flavor, without compromising the prototypical smoothness of a merlot. It has a nice blackberry taste, and a clean, woody taste lingers on the palette on the finish. I served this bottle with lamb seasoned with coriander and dijon mustard, and a mushroom risotto, and it was all a terrific meal.
