6. Bonterra Organic Vineyards Merlot
Bonterra’s California merlot has hints of petite sirah and malbec that add complexity to its fruit-forward tasting notes: bold black cherries, plums, vanilla spice, and oak. Its tannins are on the softer side, but still offer plenty of mouth-puckering acidity. Sip alone or pop and pour alongside roast chicken. ($16, bonterra.com)
