Top 5 Wines for Aug. 13 - 17

Here's an elegant, complex merlot from BC which is drinking well now, but will gain in complexity with another three to four years of bottle age. Expect ripe aromas of raspberry and blackberry, with mild spice, coffee, cedar and dark chocolate. It is well balanced, with some nice grippy tannins on the lengthy finish. Pair with sherry-garlic beef tapas.
