Fruity, blackberry, chalk, wet dog, cherries. Restrained tannins and acid, lingering bitterness on the finish.

This box Merlot is not bad, quite fruit forward and full of bright cherry and plum flavors.

I think this is a very good inexpensive wine. Just the right amount of sweetness.

Okay for an everyday drinker or for a cookout. Not really for a special occasion.
