$21 at First Street Wine Company, 13.5%. I'm not usually a fan of Napa Merlot, but this is pleasant, with a juicy fleshiness that manages to come through despite too much oak. Probably too much acid for most, but I like it, and it goes well with sausage, leek, cabbage, and fontina pasta. Can't decide whether this is Good+ or Very Good, but I felt this was a little overpriced.
