An awesome Merlot for an awesome price! On the nose, blackberry, smoke, tobacco, earth, and chocolate. On the palate, medium tannins, plum, cherry, blackberry, oak, and a smoky mocha finish. I enjoyed this paired with a pasta carbonara florentine. #winelife #merlotisitmeyourelookingfor #youhadmeatmerlot #winepuns #perfectpairing

Very fruit forward, little oak, slight acidic mid-pallet. Vanilla, plum and a little oak on the moderate finish. This is a very nice inexpensive merlot. Bonus points for being organic. $9.00

Somebody left this bottle over after bae’s friends hijacked the living room and I was sanctioned to the bedroom to write.

A little too alcoholic perfumey bouquet. Charcoal and jam.

Mealy at first sip. Too tannic. Jammy, but muted by the astringent qualities at the end note. Off balance.

This is nice. Again I'm over Merlot, but this is drinkable, not too dry or tannic.

Smooth cherry with a hint of blueberries. An easy drinking wine, short length, low tannin, nicely balanced. Oaking.
