Lava Cap El Dorado Ava Merlot 2023

Key CUVÉE RAY VALUE CERTIFIED Attributes: Freshness, Smoothness

Why This Wine Is CUVÉE RAY VALUE Certified: Merlot can sometimes be a little wishy washy…but this one is anything but. The wine practically jumps out of the glass with freshness. Really Fresh wines like this have me reaching for another sip just after I finished the last one.  Beautiful fresh dark fruits with a hint of vanilla/cocoa. There is also a terrific smoothness to the wine as all of the pieces of the wine fit together so nicely.  Nice to see an under 25$ bottle of Merlot that is several cuts above the ordinary. Purchased at Banks.
