Surprised at all the negativity on this one. Yes, it's a cheap Trader Joe's buy. But I found it a great Merlot for its price. Would get it again.

🍒 with a smokiness that I don't usually taste in Merlot. Slight bite after a smooth start

It has an agreeable amount of sweetness, on a blackberry base. It has medium-to-full body. It's not spicy or woody.

A bit of ink on the nose. Wow nice grippy flavors. Funky and odd in a good way. A bit plain on the finish.

Definitely not among my favorites Trader's cheap and tasty wines. Too tart for me.

The first wine I am commenting on is surprisingly delicious and affordable. Trader Joe's $5.99. Perfect weekday wine. I'll post wines from all price points so if this is not expensive enough for you keep in mind, it's all just grape juice ;)
