Tasting 2006 Milat Merlot Estate Bottle
- 2006 Milat Merlot Estate Bottled - USA, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena (10/15/2009)
It's easy to miss Milat as you whiz by on Highway 29 south of St Helena. It's a very small winery and tasting room and often is going to be staffed by a member of the family. But their wines are good and reasonably priced. When folks ask me for a recommendation of where to taste that doesn't require an appointment, this is one I mention. I like their wines with their Chenin Blanc being my favorite. This Merlot isn't big or especially complex, but it is charming with sour strawberry pie flavors that make you pucker until the meal starts but then go very nicely with food. Nice value too at about $20. (86 pts.)
