Vino Rec: Jenke Merlot

The other night I met fellow ex-pat San Antonian Jeff H. at Cav Wine Bar on Market St. to catch up and chat and to have some good wine and food.

The last wine I tried really stood out and I wound up buying a bottle to take home (the bar sells retail bottles). It was a Jenke Merlot, and I really recommend it. I think it was under $25 if I recall correctly.

Just a warning though- it has a funky/leathery/earthy bouquet that I love with my wines, and especially with my “food” wines. But I know some of you don’t like those qualities, hence the warning.

Keep an eye out for it- or let me know what you think if you’ve already had it.
