UltraNurd's Review: I first had a taste of this from a Pannotia sales rep who was giving out free samples at my grocery store. I don't know what it is about this one, but it is my new favorite red, and it is cheap!

Redwood Creek Merlot 2005

Vintage: 2005
Varietal: Merlot
Winery: Redwood Creek
Region: USA > California
SnoothRank: 3/5

UltraNurd's Rating: 3/5
UltraNurd's Review: More of a tangy taste on the tip of the tongue than most other cheap merlots. Sweeter, too.

This one was the $6 deal at my local grocery store this week. The synthetic corks feature a printed GPS coordinate and a description what you can see there (in my case, #12, El Capitan).

Winery: Da Vinci

Price: $12.27
SnoothRank: 4/5

UltraNurd's Rating: 4/5
UltraNurd's Review: Oddly, it doesn't really have much of a smell. It tastes clearer than most reds I drink, like there's more water. The taste ends on the back sides of your tongue.

The cork was actual cork.
