Buena Visita Sonoma Valley 2014 Merlot, $11.89-$26.99, 86+ points, poured a deep ruby red with an orange/red penumbra, a clear meniscus, and dense stained sheeting.
Aromas of plums, cloves, and a subliminal touch of funk were okay.
Struggling to support the medium-plus body was soft tannins and fair acidity, but the flavors of plums, pomegranate, and a bit of that funk were also okay.
Finished interestingly on a bit of cherry syrup, mild pepper spices, and a controlled 15% alcohol.
Paired fine with my nachos topped with spicy chili with kidney beans.
