Back at Cafe Firenze for lunch on a Saturday and would normally go for a glass of Rosso di Montalcino but I wanted to give that Merlot from a few weeks ago another test drive. Bouquet still very cherry. Delivers a mouthful of cherry with soft tannins and a pleasant lingering finish. Not quite as big as I remember but big enough to stand up to a truffled gnocchi. Perhaps not earthy enough for my tastes but very, very drinkable. And for a Merlot, a veritable home run in my book.
$9 a glass at Cafe Firenze. $16 on Wine Searcher.
