Winemaker Alex Cose has also fashioned a delicious 2009 Merlot (10,000 cases) from Napa Valley. Its dark ruby/purple color is followed by abundant berry fruit notes interwoven with white chocolate and sweet cherry characteristics presented in a medium-bodied, silky-textured, minimally oaked style. It is best drunk over the next 1-2 years. Avalon’s wines are well-worth seeking out given their amazingly low prices (I assume they can be found even cheaper at discounters).Tel.

One of the best Merlot values on the market. With rich, delicious cherry, anise and sandalwood flavors, wrapped into softly smooth tannins, it’s just what a California Merlot should be. Easy to find, with 10,000 cases produced.——S.H.(12/15/2011)—— 90
