Murphy Good Alexander Valley 2009 $15.99 This is not your run of the mill wimpy Merlot. It's sourced from bench and hillside vineyards, where the grapes struggle in character-building conditions. Intense fruit and, by extension, a more concentrated and intense wine. In it, you'll find blackberry, bay and thyme flavors combined with abundant and rich tannins, all on top of the signature soft, silky Merlot texture.
