2003 Fetzer Valley Oaks Merlot

BriggsnVB for a tasty roast dinner. The Fetza was a bit light for this menu. Closer to the red Delicious Vella-based Sangria that opened the night than to something you'd want to march up alongside a slab 'o beef. We did polish off a coupla bottles though and there is a long list of lighter dishes this would successfully accompany. Surprisingly, the gals seemed to go for the Sangria like desert survivors. Could have been the Columbia mix.
