{"product_id":"sand-point-merlot-2017","title":"Sand Point Merlot 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eMerlot spent twenty years paying for one line in a film, and the wines were never the problem. Softer than Cabernet, rounder through the middle, easier to open on a Tuesday, it is arguably the more useful grape for everyday drinking. Sand Point makes the case quietly, with a Lodi Merlot that is ripe, generous and completely unpretentious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlum, black cherry and a little cocoa fill a medium body, with gentle tannins and a soft, warm finish. Serve it at cool room temperature and skip the decanter. Roast pork, pasta with meat sauce, a mushroom pizza or a cheese board all work beautifully. An easy red for anyone who finds big Cabernet too much midweek.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sand Point","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64209311924593,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/3275\/9409\/files\/product_15912248410481_enhanced.png?v=1784751780","url":"https:\/\/winespiritsoutlet.com\/products\/sand-point-merlot-2017","provider":"Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
