Thought I buy it since it was cheap. Wasn't really expecting much but it turn out to be good

When your car breaks down and you have 2 hours to kill before the tow truck gets there so you go to Walmart next door and grab a sack of babybel and a bottle of merlot.

Has a deep ruby color when poured. Not much on the nose but medium bodied on the palette. Spicy on the palette with a lingering finish. Great value for the price. Would recommend.

Little aroma, standard merlot with some raspberry and slight vanilla flavors. Not a complex wine, some smoothness. 13.5% Alc.

Deep and dark with heavy tannins. Always a nice choice.

Definitely cheap wine but not the worst cheap wine....strong burnt spice finish and it leads with almost nothing. Not a wine I'm personally keen on but it's drinkable.

Really nice aroma. Lush fruit flavor, a short oaky aftertaste.
