Charles Smith
The Velvet Devil Washington State Merlot
Washington, USA
Deep purple color, not much on the nose. Nice simple everyday drinking wine. Not overly fruity, but you do get the black berry and cherry on the tongue. I would pick up more.

Not as velvety as some but nice coating mouthfeel for a wine of that price. Pleasant flavor and certainly quaffable. Bright young fruit up front and short finish.

Nothing Complex here. But for the money it is a real crowd pleaser.

Color of bubbly purple, nice legs. Nose is fruity of dark berries, like blackberry and grapes, some ripe pineapple too, spice, a bit fermented cabbage, a bit peppery, and a bit coke cola. Taste is mellow tannins and a bit sweet, with bittersweet zest plus the notes from the nose. Aftertaste is a bit overpowered by bitterness. Average.

Charles Smith Wines ‘The Velvet Devil’ Merlot 2019: Medium-full body. Medium acidity. Full flavor. Fruity dark fruits. Cherry. Plum. Currant. Vanilla. Baking spice. Smooth, round finish. Although this wine would not be my primary selection, overall it is a good everyday Merlot. Great value if you are looking for a medium “everything across the board” wine! Have a great day! Cheers🍷
