The 2011 La Joya Merlot has a simple strawberry pastille scented nose that is not going to harm anyone at this price. The palate is fleshy, nicely balanced with simple Morello and raspberry fruit towards the finish. Drink now. The Merlot range from Bisquertt did not make the grade, seeming a little overdone, although their entry-level Merlot is satisfying at its price level.Importer: Prestige Wine Group, Princeton, MN; tel.
