Very apt. Can't tell if good, or if I like it because I've hiked 10 miles.

Very flat merlot which is contrary to the point of a merlot. Lacks complexity of flavor. Drinkable but would not purchase again.

We really enjoyed this Merlot. Fruity, paired well with pizza and dark chocolate. Licorice and strawberries hit the pallet

Sweet pallet. Slightly acidic. Pairs well with a rainy day.

Ruby hue with medium-plus saturation. Aromas and flavors of baking spice, blackberry, cassis, oak, strawberry, toast, and vanilla. Palate finishes quickly with a faint hint of leather and pepper. Soft, medium-low tannins; and medium-low acidity. Incredible QPR for a merlot under $10.

Smooth, no after "bite". Enjoying a glass by itself looking at the lake. Not paired with any food. Very good.

Barely drinkable. Has the sweetness of rotten fruit
