For this wine tasting report, I drank F Stephen Millier Merlot. This wine contains Merlot grapes and is from Lodi in California. This wine is a 2020 vintage and costs $13 on nakedwines.com. nakedwines.com reviewed this wine as"Dark cherry flavors and a lush, velvety texture abound in Stephen’s Lodi Merlot. This juicy red is a crowd-favorite among Angels, with an average 91% rating over 7 vintages." From page 1699 in the Wine Folly textbook merlots generally have notes of cherry, vanilla, cedar, pencil lead, and toasted nutmeg. My personal review of this wine is rather positive. I was able to pick up on the cherry notes which I really enjoyed. I also found the wine to be very smooth which I was a big fan of. Overall, I enjoyed the fact that this red was less loud than some others I have tried. In conclusion, this is one of the best reds that I have tried and I would drink it again.

Some characteristics of Pinot Grigio can be found on page 1349 of the Wine Folly text and are green apple, unripe peach, thyme, lime zest, and quince. My review of this wine is fairly positive. I drank the wine without any food. I enjoyed this wine more than the Malbec I reviewed earlier. I found it easier to pick up the notes and flavors like peach and lime. The body of this wine was not very full which I wasn...
