Are you seeking a wine that is good for sports night
sipping that can cater to a variety of tastes? You may want to pull together a
few dollars and buy HRM Rex Goliath 47 Pound Rooster Merlot. Some of the words
that might describe Rex Goliath’s Merlot dark, ripe, smooth, plumb, cedar, and
cherry. Very little back of the tongue tannin aftertaste but still maintains mouth-filling
flavor. It is a medium-bodied wine from California. One of the best wine values I have come across
for under $5.00.
According to WineSearcher.com Rex 47 Pound Rooster
is the 1152st most popular wine on their site. Various other reviews rank the
wine 3.5-4 out of 5 stars. This means that most of the customers found the wine
to be of quality value and a discount price. Comments such as “great taste”, “smooth”,
and “candy” are common.
My personal impression is that the wine is great for
casual drinking. It is likely to cater to a very broad range of non-serious
wine drinkers. Low tannin and acidity help make the wine comfortable to the
average crowd. By no means is it a high quality wine but it tastes just fine
for the price. Some love it, some call it flat, but I am somewhere in the
middle.
In case you are wondering whom that big bird is on
the bottle it is Rex Goliath the world’s largest rooster. People came to Texas’s
fairs to see and hold the large rooster. The label is part of its vintage
artwork and circus banner. The wine’s label is designed to honor the animal by
providing a strong option for everyday chicken pairing.
