One-Point-Nine (1.9) Merlot 2002 (California)

Price $11.49 Size - 750 mL - Health Benefits of Wine Tasting held on Saturday April 30, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs.

This wine contains 1.9 grams of carbohydrates per glass. Wine has a sweet nose with no perceptible vanilla. This wine is smooth and dry with a decent finish. It doesn't taste or feel like merlot, it reminded me more of pinot noir, although with less complexity. Probably the process of lowering carbs reduced the body and some of the flavor of this one. Grade: C+
