Full-bodied, approachable, and absolutely appetizing, Hahn's Merlot, which integrates 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Zinfandel into the mix, has rich, mouth-coating tannins well met by the concentrated fruit structure. Find notes of red and black plum, boysenberry, chocolate, vanilla, nutmeg, toasted wood, fennel fronds, cinnamon, star anise, and walnut skins. Best Buy. —S.B.
What We Thought: This exceptionally smooth Merlot is medium- to full-bodied with plenty of ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit along with big notes of vanilla and dark chocolate, finishing with some super supple tannins.
