Deep red with red fruit aromas and pepper spice. On the palate blackberry and tart raspberry flavors with some cacao notes. Tannins are a bit harsh with an odd oaky tone. Pass, not worth it. Tasting Sample.

Solid but not exceptional merlot. Dark fruit with moderate tannins and acid.

Acidic, a little bland, but drinkable. Not a merlot fan in general.
