A decent easy to drink wine for the price. A nice dry Merlot.

2018- deep berries, toasted oak and vanilla spice flavors. Luscious dark berry and vanilla flavors, smooth after taster. Full bodied enjoyed with pork roast and mushrooms and asparagus.

As merlots go this one is lighter than many, but if enjoyed slowly you can sense it's subtle nuisances
