Cesari 2008 Merlot
Pick this up for large, low-budget gatherings as a matched set with Cesari’s chardonnay. This is a great little buy in fresh, fruity merlot with lifted floral, plum and raspberry notes. Without oak aging, it’s bare bones, with an earthy finish and moderate length. Chill lightly and enjoy over the next two years. LCBO 572453
