Awesome awesome Merlot. Herold doesn't miss. Amazing fruit, great structure and depth to the wine. Very rounded tannins. Loved it.

This is the typical California bomb. Everything you'd expect: full body, high sugar, high alcohol. All the flavors you'd expect: blackberry, smoke, cacao. At the price you'd expect: $35. It was a well-made wine and followed all the steps in the recipe book. It's only worth about $20 in my opinion. My biggest complaint is that a bitter character began to make itself known during the finish as I got closer to the end of the bottle and the flavors were fatiguing. One should always feel sad when a great bottle of wine is finished. That didn't happen for me on this one.
