Dragon's Hollow Merlot 2008 (about $12)







About the Wine:  Part of the adventure of wine making and drinking is the quest for new places to grow grapes.  Each place gives a distinct terroir and places with lower labor costs offer the possibility of very good wine at a low price.  Thus it was only a matter of time before someone started a vineyard in China.

About THIS Wine:  The wine is a light purple with no discernible rim.  Smoke and red fruit blend for a very pleasant nose that utterly fails to deliver on the palate.  I was surprised that such a bland wine could have such a bitter, acidic finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Don't.  Just Don't.

Overall Impression:  This is a bad wine at any price.
