Tulpen Cellars Columbia Merlot ‘07
$25.99 / btl -
save $4
Brand new to Esquin, we’re excited to share these amazing wines with
you! “Once again the Merlot is the best of a very fine flight of
Tulpen wines. 10% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot in the mix, resulting
in a dense, dark wine loaded with black fruits. Polished tannins are
lightly layered in streaks of leaf, herb and earth. The alcohol tops
15%, but there is not a hint of heat in the finish.” 94 pts Wine
