Often we have spaghetti for dinner. However, occasionally we have "Spaghetti"! The difference is, that sometimes we go "all-out" with the sauce and only use the finest ingredients. When we have this "special" spaghetti, we like to have a better wine than usual, so the other night, we paired our Spaghetti with a bottle of J. Lohr Merlot which was just wonderful!
The wine is dark red in color, with a bright nose of black plum, cherry and blackberry. The flavors swirl in the glass, with plum and black cherry being most evident. This Merlot has some Malbec and Cabernet Franc in the blend to add earthy tones to its structure. The finish has a lingering effect; with the alcohol content being 14.1%. and Norm's score is 90.
