This Merlot tastes like what I want a Merlot to taste like, strong fruit but balanced acidity. Now I know why they put chemistry on the bottle.

Nose: substantial, floral, cloves. Palate: sweet, rich, blueberry. Low-medium tannins. Low acid. More body & complexity than expected for a merlot. Good!

Tasty. Lots of fruit. Berries. Slightly peppery finish. Very good for the price.

Excellent nose on this one. Fruity on the front end, kind of like a nice jam, but it really settles down once it goes down the gullet. I like this wine for a less expensive Merlot from Napa Valley!

I loved having this while finishing dinner. T was not a big fan, too strong.

Red berry, cedar and cocoa powder on the nose, with a light, fruit forward palate. Needs a bit of age but a perfect Tuesday night wine. #merlot
