bohemianmerlot Bohemian Highway Merlot 2005 California $8 wine reviewsThere really is a Bohemian Highway.  It is a 10 mile stretch of road in Napa Valley running parallel between Highways 1 and 101.  Lots of New Agey spas and organic farms located there as well as Bohemian Highway Winery.   They produce all the standard varietals at a less than $10 price point.

The 2005 Bohemian HighwayMerlot is not bad – but is not great.  It is a everyday pizza sort of wine and it is hard to go wrong for 8 bucks.  I have had wines at twice the price that I have liked less.  It is on the purple end of the spectrum with plum aromas.  It is a bit firm for a Merlot, but opens up a tad with some air.  The wood is evident in some vanilla notes along with a little burnt sugar.  The predominant flavors are plum and blackberries.

The 2005 Bohemian Highway Merlot is cheap, reliable and would go well with some pasta and sausage.
