Medium bodied, zingy acidity, simple primary fruit, slightly astringent tannins. Doesn't really taste like a 2009, but pleasant if not earth shattering.

Seriously Total Wine, how dare you gouge people on this wine! If you think Merlot doesn't have "umph," you NEED this wine! Oh yeah, I sell it for $16.99, not $25.

Rather unexciting and rather expensive for such a simple blend.
