Citra 2003 Merlot

February 18th, 2007

images.jpg“Citra”. Might as well call it shitra! I have never drank a bottle of Listerine, but I am almost certain the experience is similar. This Italian red is so bad I can’t imagine anyone who would spend the money to import it, but it caught this fool.

The appearance is dark ruby and the weight of the wine looks “heavy” with long legs hinting of a higher alcohol content. fooled again (13%). The nose is of pine needles but don’t worry because they are short-lived. The textures are smooth but there is no forward fruit to speak of and the finish is bitter and short.

I have never had the urge to throw out a bottle of wine but after drinking this wine I could think of nothing better. At 3.49, I guess you could say you get what you pay for. But we must always look for the silver lining in every cloud and in the case of this wine, you now have a good mouthwash replacement.

      Decent Merlot, Maybe. I don’t know enough about merlots to be a good judge of character, but this is an ok selection for the novise Merlot drinker. At $6.99, the nose was pretty bold with hints of plum, black cherry, and oak. The taste was light on flavor that was short-lived, followed by subtle tannin. [...]...

      In this insane world we live in you can still find good wine just about anywhere. No Exuses. On a recent trip to Oklahoma I went on a quest to find some wine; anything other than Arbor Mist anyway. I found a little liqour store that had a not so shabby wine selection. I was [...]...

      I was really excited to try this wine because I have heard great things. I thought the price was a little much, but in the name of science, I was willing to give it a try. The color is a dark ruby and the legs were consistant with a 13.5% ALC Merlot. The aromas are [...]...

      Pepperwood Grove makes damn fine products. It seems that all I do is write about them lately and I am on a quest to try all their wines before my boss does. Yeah, I’m callin you out foo and to the victor go the spoils of wine. This merlot is one of the better merlots [...]...
    • Grayson Cellars Merlot 2004
      Went to the Corner Wine Bar today and had some wine. Kinda cool setup where you can order a “wine sampler” and try several different wines that the bar sells. I don’t recommend going there on a ninety degree day though because it ruins the whole experience trying to ejoy a Cabernet while sweating your [...]...
