Special Feature

Morro Bay Bargains

We're big fans of Morro Bay here at The Merch and have been for years. Their tasty Chardonnay sells for a song and has been featured as a 'Best Buy' in The Wine Spectator. Morro Bay's Cabernet is an award winner and great bargain too. It's big, bold and one of the best deals around in a California Cab. These fine values from Morro Bay are in stock and on sale.

2007 Morro Bay Chardonnay "Split Oak Vineyard"

On Sale $10.99

"This bargain comes from the Golden State's Central Coast. There's a buzz of activity here but the value-priced juice won't last long as shrewd winemakers, investors and entrepreneurs snap up Central Coast vineyards. Last year's Morro Bay Chard received a 'Best Buy' from The Wine Spectator and we think the new, '07 is even tastier. The nose has notes of ripe apple, mouthwatering citrus and a gentle kiss of oak. The palate offers up layers of ripe fruit and hints of toasty oak and the finish is balanced by crisp acidity. A new staff favorite."

2006 Morro Bay Cabernet Sauvignon

On Sale $12.99

"This is dark in color with wonderful aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry and an exotic touch of cedar. In the mouth favors of ripe berries and black cherry steal the show with a richness you wouldn't expect from a wine in this price range. The finish offers shades of dark chocolate along with hints of spice. It's perfect now with grilled burgers or peppery, steak au poivre and at this price you can easily serve it with midweek leftovers too."
