The 2018 Merlot from J. Lohr is a great choice for an every day red wine, which also stands up well on the weekends. We sampled a bottle with a medium-rare New York Strip straight from the grill, and it was delightful.
The wine is dark red in color with a bright nose of plum and blackberry. The flavors swirl in the glass with black cherry and plum being the most evident. The finish is well rounded with only a suggestion of mild tannins. This Merlot also has some Malbec in the blend to add a few earthy tones to its structure. The alcohol content is 13.9%, and Norm's score is 88.

Merlot flourished in the eighties, but has lost some of its prestige in the market place in the last few years, which is a shame since there are many really good choices out there, at under twenty dollars.
score: 88
price: $12 - $16
