Concannon Vineyard 2007 Merlot

Concannon Vineyard 2007 Merlot is a delicious wine - lots of berry and cherry, bright but smooth at the same time. Not quite substantial enough to stand up to pairing it with dark chocolate (which is always a test of the very best reds, I think!!!), but nevertheless very nice on its own and it makes me think it would be good with a hearty French bread and probably brie, as well. Yum - now I'm hungry! In any case, I'll give it rating of 4 glasses. My husband was sick this week so while he enjoyed the small glass he sampled, I'm afraid any rating he'd give it would be informed by the decongestants, so I won't add his rating here. We'll certainly buy another bottle soon, though, so he can give his opinion. I know, it's hard work, but somebody has to do it...
