Wine – Savanha – Merlot (Vintage 2006)
This was another wine I found at the back that comes in at the under $10 category, is made in
Spire Wine
Western Cape South Africa by Spier Wines and had to give it a go. This wine has a good color and what I describe as an “earthy” taste, very similar to the Fetzer Merlot which has always been a favorite Merlot of mine. A sharp fruity taste with a very long finish which may be a little too sharp, and a bit too long for some, separates this wine from the racks of cheap under $10 reds. All in all, a good buy, and I would purchase again. 6.5/10 ($8.99 avg – 750ml).
