Medium body. Not as structured, firm as I expected. Soft and approachable. A pleasant wine.

ミディアムボディ。思っていたよりも硬さはなくて、アプローチし易いワインでした。非常に心地よい飲み口で安定の1本。

Dark ruby red in appearance. Great nose with some greenery, dark berries and a bit of earthiness. Solid tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Great acidity on the palate with some red cherries, currants and minerality. Long finish. Drink till 2026. — 15 days ago

Nice dark cherry skin color. Aromas of dark cherry, cranberry and mossy floor. Yum! Loads of red fruit and baking spices that fade away quickly,making you want another sip. — 13 days ago

Rated this an 89 about a year and a half ago and my rating is unchanged today. Not my choice to open and sorta relied on the person who chose it to finish it off. Mushroom funk like the last time. Muted fruit. Some earthy characteristics but never came to life. Disjointed. Uninspiring. Disappointing as I quite like Keenan wines on a whole. — 9 days ago

Family-owned and operated since 1985, from a small, 30-acre plot of grapes to the present 20 estate vineyards, Don and Rhonda Carano's success is based on their commitment to quality. Tried this about a test ago, consistent notes. Dark fruit aromas with cedar and spice notes. On the palate, Blueberry and Plum flavors, a bit jammy, with espresso and cacao tones. Medium body, soft tannins, nice balance on lingering finish. Great value! — 16 days ago

Dark red color, dark cherry skin rim. Aromas of cranberry, cloves and cinnamon. Punch of dark fruit and baking spices, some mossy/wet forest floor on the finish. Needs more time. — 13 days ago

Outstanding Texas Merlot! When your wife is traveling and you can't open a bottle without her...... Helloooo Coravin! 😂

Delicious Merlot from the Texas High Plains AVA (yes Texas 🇨🇱 has an AVA!) and made by Calais Winery. Owner and Winemaker, Ben, is a mad French scientist when it comes to Texas grapes.

Notes of anise/licorice, rosewater, plum, blueberry, blackberries, and toast.

Aged 22 months in French oak barrels.

@Mark Flesher and @Shay A you both have got me hooked on these Texas Wines! Thank you!! 😀🍷👍 — 19 days ago

I waited over a year to revisit this and I am so happy with this decision! This has a beautiful flavor - cherries and plums. I’m really happy with where this is right now. Might have to see if Don has more for sale! — 3 days ago

A straight up outstanding Canadian red. Bold, dark fruit notes, smooth and well balanced with that softer, more velvety mouthfeel you either love or hate in a Merlot. Prominent cherry, plum and blackberry with a hint of vanilla on the finish. Black Sage by Sumac Ridge in Summerland, BC continues to produce some of my favourite reds. This Merlot is as equally excellent as their Cab Franc. — 15 days ago
