The Velvet Devil Washington State Merlot

Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of dark berry, currant and plum fruit, tobacco, cedar and baking spices. A bit of RS on the finish. Quite concentrated and rich but pretty well balanced. This has become a grocery store wine (excellent QPR) but it is respectable for a barbecue. Thanks for sharing, Keith S!

Color if purple and light gray note. Nose of ripe berries, many different kinds, plum, and average fragrance. Taste is quite sweet and hint of grape juice note, a bit spicy, yet a bit watery. Aftertaste shows some warmth from alcohol. Ok.
