Meh. Not a bad price. After a bit of time, I get the velvet... However, the mid palate is flat. You devil!

For $10 on sale, you can't beat the blackberry, cocoa powder, earth, roses, eucalyptus, thyme, licorice, funk of this midweek quaffer. It's delicious #merlot

This Washington Merlot is much different (and better in my opinion) than your typical budget California Merlot. Red plum, currant with cedar and a hint of pencil lead. It is a bit thin and hot on the finish, but overall still an interesting and tasty Merlot! ($9) [10/5/2016]

Paired at home with meal of bacon wrapped filet, new potatoes boiled in chicken broth and steamed broccoli. The 2016 likes red meat. Not fabulous, but very enjoyable. Value for price.

On a fairly limited (No Old World selections) local restaurant wine menu, this is my go-to choice. Fruit-forward #merlot but not too jammy, decent acidity and namesake velvety tannins. Don’t expect many layers or complexity.

Delish! A little spicy, no oak, nice finish. Really nice especially for the price.

Decent merlot. No wow factor and kind of one note. But okay for under or around $10.

Less than impressed with this one. "Merlot flavored water"

Some dried plum, cigar box on the nose, fruit forward yet well balanced with acidity and some surprising pepper/spice notes. It paired very well with mixed beef tenderloin and chicken kebabs. Nice by-the-glass offering at a restaurant.
